A Heartwarming Snapshot of Country Life

The "Be Patient" (#197 2/0) figurine is a quintessential example of the innocence and charm that M.I. Hummel brought to her sketches of rural childhood. This "Super Cute" collectible features a young girl in a detailed dress leaning forward to feed a group of hungry ducks. The title "Be Patient" perfectly captures the playful interaction between the child and her feathered friends. Standing at approximately 4-1/2 inches tall, this "2/0" cabinet size is a favorite for collectors who enjoy creating detailed vignettes, as it fits perfectly into standard display cases and shelving.

Excellent Condition with Vibrant Artistry

This vintage figurine is offered in EXCELLENT condition, meticulously vetted to ensure it remains free of chips, cracks, or professional repairs. Despite its age, the hand-painted finish remains incredibly nice and vibrant, showcasing the soft earth tones and the delicate details of the girl’s dress and the ducks' feathers. Each piece is an authentic Goebel original from Germany, featuring the official hallmark and the incised signature of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel.
