The closed underside has three patch marks and a small circular ventilation hole near the back. The approximately circular base has slightly incurved sides with three kidney-shaped holes between scrolls on each side, and at the front, an asymmetrical cartouche inscribed ‘AFRICA’ in gold. At the back there is a low tree stump covered in applied flowers and foliage. In front of it stands a lion with its head on the viewer’s right. The young black boy stands on his right leg with his left bent and resting on the lion’s back. He looks towards his right, and holds a lobster in his right hand in front of him, and, with his left arm holds a cornucopia filled with corn and flowers to his left side. He has black skin and wears a cream and pale orange elephant’s head headdress, a coral necklace, and a pink and turquoise drape with gold edges. There are groups of orange and yellow, and dark pink and yellow flowers and leaves on the ground in front of him. The base is picked out in turquoise, pink, and gold.

The figure of Africa derives ultimately from the representation in Cesare Ripa’s Iconologia, 1593, the first illustrated edition of which was published in Rome in 1603. It shows Africa as a woman with an elephant headdress, holding a lobster in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, and having a lion behind her. The porcelain model also resembles the marble statue without a cornucopia or lobster in the garden at Versailles, begun by Sibrayque and completed by Jean Cornu (1650-1710) in 1682.. The Derby Continents may have been inspired by one of several Meissen sets of seated or standing figures modelled c. 1745-50, by J.J. Kaendler, P. Reinicke, and F.E. Meyer, but their immediate prototype appears to have been a set of Chelsea Continents of c. 1758-9. reference term-106779 adlib-term-106779 f0706fcd-d94c-3987-bcb5-f7f794332b6a 18th Century, Late reference term-107437 adlib-term-107437 96f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479 George III reference term-110521 adlib-term-110521 b57fb046-bca3-3371-a721-2093adc3a282 literal England England country literal Derbyshire Derbyshire region Derby clear, presumed lead reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze reference term-37637 adlib-term-37637 89b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecb soft-paste porcelain Height in 8 7/8 reference media-49024 adlib-media-49024 4c097f1a-af5b-3252-8dbe-97abc23e5612 jpeg aa/aa2/EC_6C__1943_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583733523 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_EC_6C__1943_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583733523 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/EC_6C__1943_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583733523 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_EC_6C__1943_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583733523 1 image 0 media image reference media-49025 adlib-media-49025 ae61335e-3fb4-3716-accd-799dfead24d8 jpeg aa/aa2/EC_6C__1943_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583786792 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_EC_6C__1943_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583786792 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/EC_6C__1943_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583786792 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_EC_6C__1943_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583786792 1 image 1 media image reference media-49026 adlib-media-49026 8da2f740-639a-36c3-97d7-df6e513aef41 jpeg aa/aa2/EC_6C__1943_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583792591 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_EC_6C__1943_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583792591 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/EC_6C__1943_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583792591 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_EC_6C__1943_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583792591 1 image 2 media image reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure history note Unknown before donor 1 reference object-76986 adlib-object-76986 b854a174-9bdb-3715-b5f7-2a9757bbe0a9
