This gnome-like ceramic sculpture by Johanna Braeunlich features a small, rounded figure with an oversized green pointed hat that extends from the head downwards. The face has subtle, closed eyes and a neutral expression, with large pink rose-like forms covering the eye area. The figure's body is covered in small, raised yellow-green floral patterns, and two larger pink rose-like shapes adorn the chest. The back of the figure reveals the continuation of floral embellishments across the body, with a simplified and smooth anatomical form. The feet, exaggerated in proportion, are thick and feature noticeable toes.
