Factory: Le Nove Porcelain Factory
Glazed hard-paste porcelain
Hard-paste porcelain, press-moulded, and glazed. The figure stands on a low circular base with a tree stump at the back. The underside is convex and has a deeper depression under the stump. The boy has curly hair, partly covered by a broad-brimmed hat turned up at the front and decorated by two feathers. He wears a shirt, a jacket, breeches, stockings and buckled shoes. He stands on his left leg with his right relaxed at the knee, and extended behind him. He turns his head to his left as he blows a bagpipe which he holds in both hands. He has his left foot on the lead of a monkey who is seated beside him on the viewer's right. The monkey wears a hat and jacket with a frill round the neck, and holds a stick behind his back with both paws. On the ground in front of him there is an apple.
