Mallet has suggested Agostino Carlini (c. 1718-90) as a possible modeller of this and certain other Derby dry-edge figures, see Documention, 2003.The earliest version of this model is B28 in Bradshaw's list of 'Dry-edge Derby Models 1750-5, and the later model is D 31 in his list of 'Pale Family Derby Models, 1756-9', see Documention, 1990.This figure can be identified as St Phillip by the basket at the figure's feet, which was one of his attibutes because of his part in the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand. It represents one of the twelve baskets of fragments collected up after the crowd had eaten. St Phillip's usual attribute in sculpture was a Cross on which he was supposed to have suffered, rather than a small crucifix held in his hand which appears in the hand of earlier examples, a feature may derive ultimately from the engraving of St Philip by Marcantonio Raimondi after Raphael. The earlier version of 1754 with paler colouring, held a small crucifix in its right hand, missing from this example. This figure was accessioned as King Lear, probably because the lack of the crucifix did not suggest that it was a Saint. The figure has warped so that it leans forward more than was intended, as can be seen from comparison with other examples.referenceterm-113159adlib-term-1131594bdfb4a7-b307-3dfa-a3d6-8ada4683271e18th Century, third quarter#referenceterm-107437adlib-term-10743796f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479George IIIreferenceterm-110521adlib-term-110521b57fb046-bca3-3371-a721-2093adc3a282literalEnglandEnglandcountryliteralDerbyshireDerbyshireregionDerbyexcept for underside of basereferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazereferenceterm-37637adlib-term-3763789b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecbsoft-paste porcelainDepthcm16.2Heightcm20.3referencemedia-17438adlib-media-1743874493a8e-8bb7-33aa-ab9a-d94ca68dfedcjpegaa/aa2/C_40_1932_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57017029265883851imagejpegaa/aa2/mid_C_40_1932_281_29.jpg1heightpixels649widthpixels50017029265883851imagejpegaa/aa2/C_40_1932_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57017029265883851imagejpegaa/aa2/preview_C_40_1932_281_29.jpg1heightpixels325widthpixels25017029265883851image0media

For a discussion of the St Philip figures, see p. 183-5. The author points out that the presence of a crucifix and a basket of food is explained by the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand prefiguring the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross and the offering of consecrated bread to the participants in the Mass. Because of this obviously Roman Catholic imagery he offers the tentative hypothesis that the source for this figure might perhaps lie in a statue commissioned from Carlini, by the Spanish ambassador, Ricardo Wall, for his chapel.177-94referencepublication-200002956adlib-publication-200002956ef697fbd-d6c2-3b52-a8b7-7ebd9e1a65e1The Derby 'Dry-Edge' Apostlesreferenceterm-9010adlib-term-9010ecd03def-5d2a-3b43-bb92-76be16fbabf6Rococoreferenceterm-107454adlib-term-1074546ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20figurefiguresoft-paste porcelain, slip-cast, and painted overglaze in bluish-green, yellow, dark pink, orange-red, purple, and brown enamels, and giltreferenceterm-120096adlib-term-1200967cc05306-f07e-3189-849f-52addb9e2ca7slip-castingexcept for underside of basereferenceterm-120062adlib-term-120062d05176fb-17b8-3888-bba1-6c5e6c77d206lead-glazingSt Phillipobject
