Excellent and rare Art Nouveau ceramic piece from a series of the four seasons: Naked putto in a wide striding position, his blond head tilted to the right and holding a cascade of grapes falling to the ground in his arms. On a slightly curved, round meadow base with black edging By Michael Powolny (1871 - 1954): is considered one of the most important ceramic artists and designers of Austrian Art Nouveau. Powolny's companions and successors were significantly influenced by him, as he left behind an extremely important oeuvre for Viennese ceramic art. Powolny's putti - many of which were commissioned by Wiener Keramik (WK) - are sought after by knowledgeable collectors of Art Nouveau due to the quality of their modelling as well as their endearing and unmistakable overall appearance.
