This rare antique biscuit porcelain figurine of a young boy was created around 1885 by the renowned Gebrüder Heubach porcelain factory in Lichte, Germany. The exquisitely hand-decorated figurine depicts a boy dressed in a fancy green costume, raising his arm as if gazing into the distance. Featuring a matte finish with golden highlights on details such as the button on his shirt, belt trim, cuffs, and collar, this piece is meticulously hand-painted, with exceptional attention to the face, fingers, and clothing. The base bears the impressed 'sunrise' company mark.

The company won prestigious awards, including a silver medal at the 1900 Paris World Fair and gold medals at the 1904 St. Louis Exhibition and the 1906 Milan Exhibition. Their works are featured in museums such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Dresden Porcelain Museum in Germany.
