Footnotes

Provenance:
The Sperling Collection, Munich

Pieces with masquerade subjects such as the present lot are mentioned in the factory price lists of 1767. Some were after prints by J. E. Nilson but others used print sources that have yet to be discovered. See A. Ziffer, Nymphenburger Porzellan, Sammlung Bäuml (1997), nos. 614-626 for a number of pieces of this type with very similar decoration.
