About the Item

Queen Marie-Antoinette appointed Saint-Clément as a Royal Supplier for her Petit Trianon at Versailles. Here is an 18th-century Saint-Clément hand-painted creamware figure of a young man. Modeled by Paul Louis Cyfflé* at Saint- Clément in France circa 1775, the figure exhibits outstanding detail, such as the young man's beautiful face, lifelike clothes, and posture. He carries a little lamb and a pair of birds to market. The sculpting of the clothes is so lifelike that we can almost feel the fabrics draping on his body. Complementing the excellent modeling, the hand-painted colors are exquisite! This young man is part of Cyfflé's first series of figures in which he presented statuettes of tradesmen. Dimensions: 8.5" height x 4.25" wide x 3.5" deep Condition: Excellent Price: $ 2,300 Provenance: From the collection of William and Marilyn (Milton) Simpson: Marilyn Simpson was a grandchild of John D. Rockefeller Jr. The paper label on the underside of the figure states: "Saint Clément by-Cyffle c.1775 Parke-Bernet March 1957." Background of the Saint-Clement factory: The French faience fine (French creamware) factory of Saint-Clément, located 7.4 miles from Lunéville, was established by Jacques Chambrette in 1758 and closed in 1779. The factory produced beautifully made prestigious faience and faience fine (French creamware) objects for the French aristocracy. The French ceramics specialist Edmond Marchal (1833-1916) appreciated the models of Cyfflé. He noted: "He captures nature on the spot - a popular realism - a talent full of fire - a deep observation - the purity of the forms is combined with the finesse of detail." Cyfflé's fame was acquired because he produced high-quality objects. His faience fine statuettes were masterpieces of fine sculpture. In Cyfflé's first series of figures, some of the figures are the hawker, the chimney sweeper, the boilermaker, the repairer of porcelain earthenware, the street singer, the fishmonger, and the butcher. These were the tradesmen who offered their products or services with loud cries in the streets and markets. The figures radiated an attractive freshness that completely distinguished them from porcelain objects of the time, which had a much more solemn appearance. The aristocratic clients of Saint-Clément much appreciated them.
