DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: A man stands with left leg resting on an upper rock, his hand on his knee. His right hand holds a scroll. He looks away over his right shoulder. The figure is well coloured. He wears a short orange cape and a blue doublet over a white shirt, with pink and green striped shoulders. His breeches and the feathers in his hat are also pink and green, and he has a pink belt tied around his waist. His clothes are edged with gilt and his black boots have mustard-yellow tops. He has a moustache and long black hair. The ground is green and yellow with lightly combed dark pink touches; two of the tufts have pink flower centres. The base is shaped like a tear-drop; it has a gilt line across the front and on top it is moulded to form a rocky mound, with three applied tufts of foliage. The underside is concave and glazed, with a vent hole towards the back. The back is flat, decorated to the top and marked with diagonal scoring to the clay below.
object type: White earthenware moulded in three parts, with separately moulded arms and hat trim and small shards of clay added as decoration. Lead glazed. Painted underglaze in cobalt blue and with black, green, red, orange, yellow, pink and flesh-pink enamels, and gilt.
