Another example of this figure is in the Professor Klaus J. Thiemann Collection, Hetjens Museum (W. Beckmann, In Fürstlichen Diensten Komödianten, Sultane und Pagoden aus Meissener Porzellan (n.d.), p. 46.

The four loops of the purple frogging on the front of his jacket on his left side are chipped. There are some typical chips to the leaves applied to the base. There is a slightly discoloured short haircrack (approx. 4cm) in the glaze surface of the base running just below the tip of his right foot.
Otherwise in good condition.
