專家說明

As the factory’s chief modeller for almost half a century, August Spiess created a large number of figures during the Historical period of the second half of the 19th century. The works created by Spiess often depict playful children, cupids, or mythological figures in various costumes and settings.

For a comparable undecorated model from the State Hermitage Museum, see E. Khmelnitskaya, August Spiess and Imperial Porcelain Factory, Moscow, 2012, p. 176, no. 165.
