Lot Essay:
She is seated on a rockwork plinth with a spaniel-like dog in her arms. A peacock peeps from a rock nearby. Enameled richly in green, pale blue, brown, rose, and turquoise. Likely once a pair, this group is emblematic of life in China and by the early 1740s, European factories were also producing a variety of chinoiserie figures in similar poses.
