Lot Essay

See Rosalind Savill, The Wallace Collection: Catalogue of Sèvres Porcelain, 1988, Vol.I, for a discussion on the this model, likely to have been first designed by Jean-Claude Duplessis père, circa 1765. See p. 254 for an illustration of the plaster model retained at the MNS and p. 255 which notes that the model was reintroduced in the 19th century. Also see Le Palais de Fountainbleau, Paris, n.d., Vol. II pls. 438-439.
