Description

EDNA HIBEL Plate NOBILITY of CHILDREN CHIEF RED FEATHER Rosenthal Collectible CHIEF RED FEATHER is the fourth and final plate in the series THE NOBILITY of CHILDREN, created by Edna Hibel. The Chief comes from the great Southwest of the United States, and he takes his noble title, not from an aristocratic birth, but from Edna Hibel’s long cherished belief in the innate dignity of childhood. CHIEF RED FEATHER portrays the innocence and serenity that Edna Hibel finds in all children, whatever their nationality or ancestry. These timeless qualities are at the heart of Edna Hibel’s Nobility of Children theme that “the true nobility of the world is in its children”. In capturing the indefinable essence of youth, Hibel succeeds in endowing her young Indian Chief with the warmth and sensibility which are the world-renowned hallmarks of Hibel’s uniquely beautiful art.

Issued in 1979 in a Limited Edition of just 12,750 plates, with an original issue price of $140. Plate #12,579 Diameter approximately 9 3/4 inches (25 cm).
