Lot Essay


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.
