DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Soft-paste porcelain, press-moulded, with hand-modelled details, and very glassy lead-glaze overall, except for the underside of the feet. The glaze has black speckles here and there. The concave underside has a large circular ventilation hole at the back. The approximately square base is supported on two scrolls, the ends of which curl inwards at the back, and forwards and upwards at the front, where they have between them a pierced anthemion-like motif. At the back there is a tree trunk, with a long lateral branch on the viewer's right and short lateral branch on the left bearing applied flowers and leaves. The sportsman sits on the main tree trunk leaning on the tall branch on his left elbow. His left leg is straight and his right is bent at the knee and a little behind the right. He leans slightly towards his left. He wears a broad-brimmed hat, a neckcloth, waistcoat, coat, breeches, and boots. A purse is attached to a belt round his waist, and a dead bird and a flask are slung on his right side from a cross strap. The top of the base is decorated with applied flowers and leaves.
object type: Soft-paste porcelain figure of a Seated Sportsman.
