- A pair of Orientalist terracotta figures by Johann MareschBy Johann MareschLocated in London, GBA pair of Orientalist terracotta figures by Johann Maresch Austrian, Late 19th Century Man: height 49cm, width 20cm, depth 15cm Woman: height 48cm, width 20cm, depth 15cm Depicting a woman and a man of similar appearance, age, dress, and in a similarly spritely, lively, and engaging manner, these figures were made by Johann Maresch in the late nineteenth century, c.1880.

Their manner of dress is similar, even down to the similarities in the colours used to paint them. She carries a bright orange-red urn...Category
