About the Item
A Meissen polychrome porcelain pair of tabletop statues with a male with a monkey and young woman playing a hurdy-gurdy.
The woman wears a richly detailed traditional costume in magenta, gold, and cream tones, with a floral-patterned skirt and matching headscarf. Her expression is serene and lifelike, reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship of fine European porcelain houses.
The instrument she holds, a hurdy-gurdy, is a rare and historically significant detail, often associated with traveling musicians and regional fairs. The entire figure, including the base she stands on, is crafted in one piece.
It rests atop a deep cobalt blue pedestal, hand-decorated with gilded scrolls and vibrant floral panels.
The male, a performer, dressed in flamboyant red trousers with gold detailing, a patterned shirt, and a royal blue coat with elaborate gilding.
Resting on his shoulder, a monkey in matching attire blows a yellow trumpet, adding movement and humor to the composition.
The figures stands atop a base, painted in deep cobalt blue and adorned with hand-painted floral panels and ornate golden scrollwork.
The bases and figure are crafted as a single piece.
The piece reflects the 19th-century fascination with theatrical life and exotic pets.
The man's arm and back show signs of previous damage and have been professionally restored (see photos).
