Statuette en porcelaine de Meissen représentant une hongroise, circa 1750

A Meissen figure of a Hungarian woman, circa 1750

Probably modelled by P. Reinicke and J.J. Kaendler, wearing a bonnet with pink ribbon, a fur-lined green cape, a puce bodice with pink and gilt flowers, and a long dress decorated with flower sprigs and edged in gilding, 21.8cm high, crossed swords mark in underglaze-blue to rear edge of base (right little finger and left forefinger restored, tip of right forefinger chipped, minor chips and restoration to applied leaves on base)
Footnotes:
Based on pl. 77 in the Comte de Ferriol's 'Receuil de cent estampes représentant différentes nations du Levant. . . . ', Paris 1714, or the edition published in German by Christoph Weigel the Elder in Nuremberg in 1719.

Another example of this figure is in the Professor Klaus J. Thiemann Collection, Hetjens Museum (W. Beckmann, In Fürstlichen Diensten Komödianten, Sultane und Pagoden aus Meissener Porzellan (n.d.), p. 46; see R. Rückert, Meissener Porzellan (1966), no. 957, for the example in the Landesgewerbemuseum, Stuttgart.

The little finger on the right hand is restored and the tip of the forefinger is broken off (traces of old overpainting visible). The forefinger on the left hand is restored.
There is some very minor scattered wear to the gilt border around the bottom edge of the dress, and some very minor wear to the gilt foliate bands at the front.
There are some typical minor chips to the leaves applied to the base and traces (old) restoration to two leaves.

Otherwise in good condition.
