Note du spécialiste


R.G. Vater Collection no. 833 (paper collection label applied to the base).

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.

Another example of this model formed part of the collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller, and was sold in Their sale, Christie's, New York, 9 May 2018, lot 264. A further version of the model was sold in Christie's, New York, 14 December 2015, lot 227.

An example of this model is illustrated by Martin Eberle, Cris de Paris Meissener Porzellanfiguren des 18. Jahrhunderts, Leipzig, 2001, no. 43, p. 115.
