About the Item

A finely modelled Russian porcelain figure of a Dancing Peasant Woman (repaired), produced by the Gardner Factory, Moscow, late XIX century, depicting a moment of quiet domestic movement. She is shown lifting the hem of her apron with one hand while the other rests at her hip, her pose subtly dynamic and naturalistic. The costume is rendered with notable sensitivity: a soft white blouse with voluminous sleeves falls in gentle, convincing folds, overlaid by a pale blue сарафан-style dress delicately patterned with small motifs. The apron, decorated with fine red dotted ornament and a geometric border, is particularly well executed, its drapery modelled with crisp, lifelike creases that suggest both weight and motion. The colour palette is restrained yet expressive, combining muted whites and powder blues with accents of red and a soft pink headscarf, lending warmth and authenticity to the figure. Her face is sensitively painted, with a calm, slightly introspective expression, downcast eyes, and softly defined features that convey a quiet, contemplative mood. The subtle modelling of the head and neck, together with the natural fall of the garments, reflects the high level of craftsmanship associated with Gardner’s genre figures. Overall, the piece captures an intimate, everyday rural scene with both charm and remarkable attention to detail. Dimensions: H: 21, W: 9.5, D: 7 cm. The underside bears the red overglaze factory mark with the Imperial double-headed eagle and “Гарднеръ в Москве” (Gardner in Moscow), confirming production during the period when the factory operated under Imperial patronage. Pieces from the Gardner factory are highly regarded for their blend of Western European porcelain techniques with distinctly Russian subject matter, making them important cultural artefacts. This example reflects the popularisation of народные сцены (folk scenes), which became especially desirable among collectors for their ethnographic charm and historical context.
