Herend Hungary Hand-Painted Porcelain Madonna & Child Figurine, #5521 — Lux Elek
A finely hand-painted Herend porcelain figurine depicting the "Peasant Madonna" (also known as the Matyó Madonna) — a mother in traditional Hungarian folk dress, cradling her child, rendered in warm ochre and vivid coral tones with delicate hand-painted floral detailing on the bodice. Designed by Lux Elek (1884–1941), a recognized Herend sculptor whose Art Deco-era figural work remains among the maker's most collected. Model #5521, still part of Herend's current catalog today.
Measures 7¼" tall x 2" wide. Flawless condition throughout.
Marked on the base with Herend's Hungary shield mark and "HANDPAINTED."
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you". Matthew 6:33
