A Meissen Chinoiserie group of a family with a monkey, mid 18th century

Modelled by J.J. Kändler, P. Reinicke and F. E. Meyer, the father standing on the left wearing a wide-brimmed hat and pink-lined robes, the mother on the right in a floral robe balancing a child that is seated on a table between them, another child playing with a monkey at their feet, the base applied with leaves and flowers, 16.3cm high (some restoration)

Footnotes

The model is one of a series of chinoiserie groups modelled by J.J. Kändler and his assistants Reinicke and Meyer, after the prints 'Les Délices de l'Enfance', engraved by Jean-Joseph Balechou and published in Paris around 1748, after designs by François Boucher of around 1744.
