Lot Essay

Kändler's work records of August 1747 record: Ein Wildes Mutter Schwein so Viel möglich gewesen Natürlich poußiret, this probably being the counterpart for the male boar modelled by Kändler the previous year. The 1 October 1753 Inventory of Count Brühl's Konditorei lists: 9 grosse Schweine.
