Lot Essay

This group is recorded in Kändler's Taxa of 1765 and may have been inspired by Molière's comedy 'Le Docteur Amoureux'. For a similar group see Ulrich Pietsch, Meissener Porzellanplastik, Munich, 2006, p. 86, cat. no. 122. There is a similar group illustrated in the Catalogue of the Collection of Dresden Porcelain, formed by S.B. Joel, Esq., to Gt. Stanhope Street, London, W., Vol. II, circa 1900 or later, compiled by Frank Partridge, pp. 127-128.
