An extremely rare pair of Kloster- Veilsdorf Turkish Musicians, modelled by Pfranger, both turbaned and wearing brightly coloured Turkish Levantine clothing in tones of yellow, puce and iron red, she holding a tambourine and looking out at one side and he gazing up holding a lute under one arm, on irregularly moulded slightly domed bases.
The Female Turkish Musician is particularly rare as few examples survive. The Manufactory was founded in 1760 under the patronage of Prince Fredrich Wilhelm Eugen von Hildburghausen.
