Small German c. 1940s Photo of Porcelain Figurine Romanian textile which are amplifying my desire

which are amplifying my desire for a wonderful old wooden desk across the surface of which I'd spread out all manner of vintage desk accessories

I just had the thought that maybe H Manning was a magician and this was a trick box

I think photos don't quite do justice to this one

but a Jack Russell or a Fox terrier you probably know better than I

Small German c. 1940s Photo of Porcelain Figurine Romanian textile which are amplifying my desireI've taken to calling this one "the dying swan, and love it for its great gestural drama inherent to the porcelain figurine that is its subject, but much amplified I think as photographed against a flat black ground. The Agfa Lupex paper on which it was printed identifies it as German c. WW2, placing it in a context that lends much added resonance. 3 11 16" x 2 11 16" and in very good condition.
