Only a dachshund can wear such a stoic expression. Especially when it is a high-born one. The sculptress Wera von Bartels understood that when she immortalised this self-confident male in porcelain in 1906. The model for this masterfully executed sculpture was Labori 2nd of Bergsteig, a prizewinning male dachshund, whose photo went round the world in the form of a postcard. With great sensitivity, the autodidact von Bartels, born in Munich, captured the hound's physique and character with all its strength, its loyalty, and its stubbornness. It is such a shame that this is her only model for Nymphenburg.
