Hard-paste porcelain painted in enamels and gilded
Hard-paste porcelain, moulded, and painted overglaze in pea green, yellow, pale purple, flesh pink, red, stone, brown, and black enamels, and gilded. The very slightly concave underside is unglazed and has a grey brushstroke on it. The figure stands on a low rectangular base with rounded corners, enamelled pea green and scattered with small black strokes. She strides forward with her left leg, holding up a long-barrelled gun to her right shoulder with her right hand and supporting its barrel with her outstretched left hand. Her long hair is tied back into a bunch at the nape of her neck with a red ribbon. She wears a black tricorne hat with gold edging, and on the proper left side, a red bow held on by a gold cord; a green, fitted coat with a pink lining and stone-coloured cuffs; a white skirt with vertical rows of purple stylized flower motifs, and a gold lower edge, and yellow shoes. Resting on her left hip there is a white bag with black diagonal stripes slung from a yellowish-green cross strap.
