Lot Essay

For the two prints by Johann Weigel (published in Nuremberg, 1720) which appear to have been used as sources for two of the figures on this saucer, see Siegfried Ducret, 'Vorbilder für Porzellanmalereien', Keramos, April 1969, No. 44, pp. 13-41, figs. 12 and 13. A print by Martin Engelbrecht (published in Augsburg, 1720) was probably used for the child, see Ducret, ibid., fig. 11.
