A Meissen group of pastoral lovers circa 1745

modelled by J.J.Kaendler, the seated lady playing the lute, wearing a purple-lined green hat, white dress with blue rosttes and purple bows to the sleeves and decorated with flowers, her companion offering her a posy, wearing a white jacket and shirt and black breeches, a recumbent lamb on the front of the flower-strewn base and a tree-stump with leaves and berries at the rear

A similar group in the Pauls Collection Basel, is illustrated and discussed by E.Pauls-Eisenbeiss, German Porcelain of the 18th Century, vol.I, pp.244f.
