A pair of Bow figures of Harlequin and Columbine, circa 1775 Standing in dancing poses before tree stumps, Harlequin masked and wearing a brightly coloured suit, a slapstick in his right hand, Columbine wearing a brightly coloured dress painted with playing cards, also holding a slapstick, raised on elaborate scrolled bases, 18.5cm high (2) Footnotes: The figure of Columbine appears to be based upon two Meissen models. The basic pose follows the Peter Reinicke model of 1747, but the raised right arm suggests the slightly later model by Elias Meyer, see Reinhard Jansen, Commedia Dell'Arte (2001), p.55, no.37, and p.58, no.43. A similar pair of figures was sold by Bonhams on 12 November 2014, lot 76.
