A Meissen figure of a woodman

Although only loosely related, this model is probably inspired by Comte de Caylus's engraving after the drawing by Edmé Bouchardon. For an illustration of a similar model and the Bouchardon drawing, see Len and Yvonne Adams, Meissen Portrait Figures (London, 1987), pp. 160-161.

Special Notice

No VAT will be charged on the hammer price, but VAT at 17.5% will be added to the buyer's premium which is invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis.
