An extremely rare and previously unrecorded Bow Group of a Boy and Bird, modelled by the ‘Muses Modeller’ showing a boy wearing a yellow hat, ruff, puce waistcoat and white ruff, all trimmed with brown and gold buttons and edges, seated on an outcrop of rocks before a tree, feeding a large bird with naturalistic plumage, the tree and bases applied with coloured single blooms and leaves.
The modelling may be compared to the work of the ‘Muses Modeller’ and indirectly has similarities in design and composition to some Mennecy porcelain groups.
