Not every animal modeller that worked in Nymphenburg had the great fortune of being able to work in such close proximity to their models as Luise Terletzki-Scherf did. One of her major subjects were swans. Because what could be more inviting that portraying the inhabitants of the castle grounds? Under the aegis of the artist, large and small models were created at the northern castle turret in the 1950s which tell a story of the grace and the everyday lives of the majestic waterfowls. In just the way that the artist could study them in their natural surroundings.
