Frequently called 'Isabella' from the Italian Comedy she appears to be derived from a model of the Polish Lady by J.J. Kändler first modelled at Meissen in 1743. See Elizabeth Adams, op. cit., pp. 132 and 134, pl. 113 for the example in the Cecil Higgins Museum, Bedford. The only example sold in these Rooms was from the collection of Mrs. Walter Legge, J.P., sale 19 March 1953, lot 21. See also Yvonne Hackenbroch, op. cit., Pl. 24, Fig. 30
