A Bow figure of Pedrolino, circa 1758

Standing on a plain mound base with his hands held out before him, his bright yellow suit with delicate pencilled decoration, his floppy hat a slightly paler tone of yellow, 15cm high

Footnotes

This figure was first modelled by Reinicke at Meissen, using an engraving by Francois Joullain in Louis Riccobini's 'Histoire du Theatre Italien', published in 1731. The Meissen model has been closely copied at Bow. John Bowcock's memorandum book refers to 'May 4, 1756.....Mr Williams...1 enamelled Pero, 6s'
