Lovers and Cage, Glazed Porcelain, After Meissen Models, circa 1800

About the Item

Courtesans and cage. Glazed porcelain. Model Johann Joachim Enameled porcelain figurine with base resembling rocks and a couple of lovers dressed in the manner of the 18th century, with the boy extending his left hand towards a large bird cage. The piece is very similar to figures entitled "Lovers with cage" made by Du Paquier (who opened a porcelain factory in Vienna in 1719) in 1737 and of which examples are preserved as in the Metropolitan Museum of New York or the Indianapolis Museum of Art. In turn, Du Paquier took his inspiration from work done in Meissen thanks to Johan Joachim Kaendler circa 1736-1740 (varying in details such as the replacement of the table that the Germans have for the Viennese cage in some examples , or colors, for example). If you compare the present work with the works of Du Paquier, you can see remarkable similarities in postures, elements, etc., but also important differences (color, details, base of the figure ...)." Size: 14 x 12 x 13 cms.
