I found a few other figurines that were marked Switzerland or another name on the stand like this one. None of them are the same as yours but it does look like they are all similar in one respect. They are all VINTAGE INNSBRUCK SWITZERLAND TOURIST SOUVENIR. I think this company made different figures that were sold in tourist shops around Switzerland.
This young lady figurine looks like so many of the inexpensive souvenirs that were sold in small gift shops and airports.
Every country had them because people always wanted a souvenir to take home or just a small gift for a family member.
I remember selling similar figurines at the Silver Springs attraction in Florida when I was young. If I remember correctly, we received them in a large box that held at least 50 - 100 of each item. Of course, they had Silver Springs or Florida across the bottom.
I'm not sure if you'll be able to find a brand name but when looking at the quality/painting/roughness of the piece I do not believe it is one of the brand names I'm familiar with. Most of the Lefton and Homco are more 'finished' in their colors and material.
I believe people just like having them around because there are always memories linked with the original owners.
The logo looks like Lefton, but I am not familiar with them making a piece from Switzerland.
See if you agree that the logo looks like Lefton:
