This figure is more commonly found on a low base such as the example illustrated by Rosalie Wise Sharp, Ceramics, Ethics and Scandal (2002), p 126. For another example of a figure on the more unusual high base, see the figure sold at Bonhams, London, 8 September 2010, lot 75.

'Lethe' was a one act play reworked in 1749 to include the roles of Mrs Riot and the Fine Gentleman, famously played by Henry Woodward and forming the companion figure to the present lot.
