Woman holding a Hen
Meissen Porcelain Factory
(Factory)
Kändler, Johann Joachim
(Modeller)
Hard-paste porcelain painted in enamels.
She stands on a low whit circular base, encrusted with coloured flowers and foliage, and points with her right hand to a brown and white hen, which she carries on her left arm.
She wears a black cap, wrapped with a white cloth knotted at the back. Her brown bodice has a black front with brown shoulder-straps, a white kerchief hanging down over her back, over a white chemise with turned up sleeves. A long white skirt is under a pale straw coloured apron, and she also wears white stockings and black shoes with pale straw bows.
