A Meissen figure of a dancing lady, circa 1755
Footnotes
The figure, albeit in a smaller version, is illustrated in Rückert 1966, no.1008, where the author notes that the figure is most likely to have been modelled by Kaendler after 1748, when the rocaille base surfaces for the first time in Kaendler's Arbeitsberichte or work-records.
It cannot be excluded that the figure relates to the following entry in Kaendler's Taxa: '1. dergleichen [Tyroler Mägdgen] tanzende vorgestellet, mit beyden Händen die Schürtze haltend [1. similar (Tyrolean girl) depicted dancing, holding the apron with both hands], even though this figure is set on a rococo base.
