Ring around the Rosie (Masterpiece) - HUM 348 HSC 69139093

A lifetime of friendship begins with a simple game. Experience the ultimate expression of joy and community with Ring Around the Rosie (HUM 348). As one of the most iconic and sought-after Masterpiece figurines in the M.I. Hummel collection, this large-scale work of art features four young girls in traditional Bavarian dress, their hands joined in a playful, spinning circle.

This piece is a celebration of fluid motion and the innocent laughter of childhood. Originally modeled by master sculptor Gerhard Skrobek, this expansive composition is a technical marvel of porcelain artistry. Each girl is meticulously hand-painted in Rödental, Germany, using the soft, earthy palette that defines authentic Hummel tradition. Its impressive size and intricate multi-figure design make it the undisputed crown jewel of any serious gallery, serving as a timeless tribute to the spirit of sisterhood and lifelong bonds.

• Sailing Lesson (HUM 2290): Another grand-scale "Moments in Time" piece that captures the complex interaction of a group of children at play.
