He has the bag of the bagpipes under his left arm and holds the chaunter in both hands. He wears a pale brown, broad-brimmed hat with a dark orange band and a rosette on the turned up side of the brim; a white shirt, and a flowered jacket with a pink lining; pale yellow breeches with dark orange edging and bows at the knees; white stockings, and pale purple shoes with orange bows.

European Pottery and Porcelain FiguresRef. Although this Shepherd and the one produced at Derby may have been based on a Meissen model, there were English sculptural equivalents. The figure is reminiscent of the lead Piping Shepherd Boy with dog, attributed to Jan Van Nost, in the garden at Canons Ashby, Northants, and there may have been other possible models among the 'shepherds, shepherdesses, bagpipers and pipers' which were stocked over a long period by John Cheere and mentioned by an anonymous writer in 1772,.p. 6referencepublication-2789adlib-publication-27892a3de0a1-d4d4-36b0-9676-6aee72a4b65cThe Man at Hyde Park Corner, Sculpture by John Cheere 1709-1787Ref.
