Note du spécialiste

See Rainer Rückert, Meissener Porzellan, Munich, 1966, pl. 226, no. 933 for an example of these models in the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, Munich, which the author describes as an Austrian fusilier. See also Len and Yvonne Adams, Meissen Portrait Figures, London, 1987, p. 41 for a set of eight soldiers of the same type, including the same model as those in the present lot.
