Note du spécialiste


Another example of this rare model is illustrated by Len and Yvonne Adams, Meissen Portrait Figures, London, 1987, p. 116.

The Meissen ‘Cris de Paris’ series of street-vendors was modelled by P. Reinicke and overseen by J.J. Kändler after a series of drawings produced by Christophe Hüet in 1753. Work began in 1753-4 and it became the most extensive series made at the Meissen manufactory.
