The underside is unglazed and rough, and has a large circular ventilation hole through which the interior fo the figure is visible. The roughly square base is edged by frilled scrolls flanking a pierced shell asymmetrically placed at the front. At the back it rises up into a tree stump which is pierced by a circular hole to take an attachment, probably a candle branch. Applied to the top of the base there is a group of three flowers and three leaves, and a group of two flowers and two leaves. The young man is seated on the stump with his right leg extended to the side and his left foot forward. He turns his head to his left, and with his left hand caresses the head of a dog which has its front paws on his left thigh. He holds his other hand over his right thigh. He has brown hair and eyes, pale pink cheeks, and a pale red mouth. His hair is tied back with a purple bow with long tails. He wears a shirt with a ruffled neck and sleeves, a yellow waistcoat with purple buttons, a white jacked decorated with floral bouquets and sprigs, a yellow collar, and purple buttons, and matching breeches with red bands and a yellow flower on each knee. He has white stockings, and yellow shoes with a puce and white flower on each. The dog is white with brown patches. The scrolls and shell round the base are picked out in puce.

The other figures include, a girl on a horse, a seated man similar to this one, but wearing a hat and holding a bird, a seated girl companion with a lamb, a dancer, an exotic pheasant, a candlestick with rabbits, and a candlestick with a dog chasing a cat up a tree. Dr Dennis Rice (1983, dubbed them 'Girl-on-a-Horse' group, after the figure in his own collection. Their unidentified maker has also been described as the 'Compass Factory'. Dr Rice described their characteristics as ‘light in weight’ with a paste which is ‘rather opaque, a glaze that is somewhat dirty and speckled, and a rough unglazed dirty surface under a base which is scrolled and rococo in form’ Some are marked on the base with an incised circle containing a triangle and a stroke with a shorter stroke resembling a y. The pale colouring is distinctive, and different from early Derby figures. Bradshaw (1990) described the modelling as crude, but that seems unduly critical. This figure is naïve by the standards of sculpture, but is daintily modelled with a small head and limbs. reference term-106451 adlib-term-106451 9cdfd62c-ee07-3884-ae08-c797aad08631 18th Century, Mid reference term-107736 adlib-term-107736 e93a8dd1-d76d-320b-be9b-afa352e322a1 George II reference term-110521 adlib-term-110521 b57fb046-bca3-3371-a721-2093adc3a282 literal England England country Derby reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze reference term-37637 adlib-term-37637 89b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecb soft-paste porcelain Height cm 15.2 reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure history note Sotheby's, 1 May 1925,Chinese blue and white porcelain; European pottery and porcelain, lot 85.
