Although this figure is not mentioned in the manufactory work records, a similar example with fruit in the basket is included in an inventory of the collection of the Counts Solms-Laubach in 1741 as well as in an invoice that suggests that the model may date to 1738 (see V. Sigalas and M. Chilton, All Walks of Life, 2022, cat. no. 3).
