Description
|
A rare Meissen figure of a seated spaniel, painted with highlights of black and brown enamels on his coat. Modelled by J J Kändler. No Mark. 11cm High 14cm Wide 7cm Deep *It is unusual to see this model without a base. A similar, larger seated model on a cushion was sold in The Sir Gewain and Lady Ballie Collection, Sotheby’s May 2013, lot 215. Footnote: “Spaniels were favourite ladies’ companions in the 16th and 17th centuries before being replaced by the popularity of the pug. They are often depicted seated on their laps and can be seen in portraits. A figure of a spaniel was modelled in October 1734 for the Japanese palace and attributed to J J Kändler.”
