The Blust of Wind
Detail
Hand painted, Vers. II
Just less than ten years before Mary Poppins floated across our screens with her raised umbrella, the artist from Ulm Johanna Künzli designed this young lady, tousled by the wind, who appears in no way inferior to the lively heroine of the novels. Her cheeks are red with effort, while the girl tries to master the gust of wind. Bold, shiny bright red is used for her face and scarf, and the innocent pink of her skirt is another tricky colour: It has to be applied particularly evenly if it is to change from brown to smooth rosé during firing.
