Admittedly, Munich lives up to its reputation as the city of singles. Yet whenever the Austrian artist Resl Schröder-Lechner designed figures for the Manufactory’s master workshops, neither man nor woman could remain alone. Until her death in 2000, Schröder-Lechner always presented her smart figures from the Traditional Dress group in pairs. The design of the outfits was often preceded by in-depth research into historical dress. And this well-dressed Munich Man in frock coat and waistcoat is no exception. The figure, designed in 1986, is wearing the elegant dress of a gentleman burgher.
