Royal Doulton Andrea HN3058 Bone China Figurine

At 13 cm tall and 10.5 cm wide, this Royal Doulton Andrea HN3058 bone china figurine, with her soft blue and white dress and kitten companion at her side, captures a scene of childhood innocence with the warmth, fine modelling, and delicate hand-painted detail that characterise Royal Doulton's figurine tradition at its most endearing, the subject's quiet, domestic character giving the piece an appeal that transcends the purely decorative.

Made by Royal Doulton of Stoke-on-Trent and dated 1984, Andrea HN3058 is an example of the children figurines that Royal Doulton produced alongside its more widely known lady figurines, the children subjects bringing a different register of feeling to the figurine tradition, one of innocence and domestic warmth rather than the formal elegance of the lady figurines. The soft blue and white dress, rendered with the meticulous hand-painted detail that is the hallmark of the best Royal Doulton figurine production, gives the piece a freshness and lightness of colour that suits the childhood subject, and the kitten companion adds a note of narrative warmth that gives the piece its particular charm. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
