Literature:
J. Rafael, Zur "Taxa Kaendler", in Keramos 203/204 (2009), p. 48 (illustrated)
The figure is listed in J.J. Kaendler's work reports in December 1743: 'Ein Polak Weibel in Thon zu poußiren angefangen, zum Waaren Laager' [a Polish woman begun in clay, to the warehouse]. According to their respective work records, the model was apparently subsequently worked on by Eberlein in January 1744 and by Ehder in April (quoted by S-K. Andres-Acevedo, Die autonomen figürlichen Plastiken [...], vol. 2 (2023), p. 157).
Kaendler's Taxa includes: '1. Frauenzimmer mit einer Taillien Andriene mit weiten Fischbein-Rocke, Handshuhe auf den Händen, in der lincken eine Fächer habend, tanzende, vorgestellt ' [1 female figure with an andrienne bodice and wide crinoline dress, gloves on her hands, a fan in her left hand, depicted dancing].
