These two figures are very rare examples of the early production of the Imperial Porcelain Factory during the reign of Elizabeth I in the mid-18th century. Baron N.B. von Wolf describes the male figurine in his monograph as a man in traditional Eastern dress.

For a similar model of the male figure from the collection of Prince A.S. Dolgorukov, see N.B. von Wolf, Imperatorskii Farforovyi Zavod, 1744-1904, St Petersburg, 1906, p. 48, illustrated; also see N.B. von Wolf (ed. V.V. Znamenov), Imperatorskii Farforovyi Zavod, 1744-1904, St Petersburg, 2008, p. 57, illustrated.
