Statuette en porcelaine de Meissen répresentant un musicien turc, circa 1745

A Meissen figure of a Turkish musician, circa 1745


Modelled by P. Reinicke and J.F. Eberlein, holding an oud (type of lute) under one arm, wearing a yellow doublet decorated with flower sprigs, a gilt-edged puce jacket, puce trousers and yellow shoes, 17.5cm high (very minor chips)

Footnotes

The figure is after the engraving of Le Turc Amoureux by Georg Friedrich Schmidt (1712-75), after a painting of around 1730 by Nicholas Lancret (1690-1743). Another example is illustrated in R. Rückert, Meissener Porzellan (1966), no. 956, where he mentions that it was first referred to in the Meissen records in 1744.
