Soft-paste porcelain containing bone ash, figure group of The Fortune Teller, press-moulded, and painted over lead-glaze in very pale greyish-blue, turquoise-green, green, pale yellow, orange, dark pink, puce, and black enamels, and gilt. The figures stand side by side on a low rocky base which rises up in the centre of the back to support them. The bearded fortune teller stands on the left with feet apart, bending over the right hand of the young woman, which he holds by the wrist in his left hand. The girl stands on the right with her left arm by her side, holding a now missing object. Between them is a rectangular object, perhaps a book. The fortune teller wears a wreath of leaves and berries on his head, a dark pink coat with yellow lining, turquoise breeches, and black boots with a gold border at the top. She has three flowers on top of her head, and wears a petticoat decorated with turquoise flowers and puce and gold leaves, a yellow open robe with an orange stomacher and cuffs, and a trailing garland of flowers and leaves passing over her right shoulder and diagonally across her back to her waist. The visible shoe is orange. There are two areas of green on the back of the base. F11 reference exhibition-1070 adlib-exhibition-1070 2cb713dc-899f-35df-9c15-515a05f38d48 Plagiarism Personified?
