Soft-paste biscuit porcelain, press-moulded. A young woman, Colette is seated on a rock on an irregularly-shaped low mound base, with a vase of flowers on her right. She turns her head to her left, gazing adoringly at a young gardener, Jacquot, who stands with his left knee resting on the rock, leaning towards her and placing his right arm on her back, and taking her left hand in his, as if about to embrace her.

This group was modelled in 1766 and put into production in 1767 under the direction of Jean-Jacques Bachelier, his successor as director of the sculpture workshop between 1766 and 1773. The terre cuite (terracotta) model is preserved in the Musée national de Céramique, Sèvres (MNC 7737). The group shows a gardener, Jacquot, and his lover Colette from a play, 'La Fête au Château' by Charles-Simon Favart or his wife, which was commissioned by Mme de Mauconseil to celebrate the recovery of her daughter after an illness. The premier took place at the Villa de Bagatelle before the old king of Poland, Stanislas. The play was performed four times at Versailles and once at the Trianon, and entered the repertoire of the Théâtre-Italien on 25 September 1766. The first biscuit group sold cost 144 livres (AMNS, Vy4, fo 135). The group was often sold paired with another, 'La fée Urgèle', the title of an opéra comique with libretto by Favart. This particular group is marked with an incised B which may be that of Bachelier, but could be interpreted as the Bo mark of his successor, Louis-Simon Boizot between 1775-70. Unglazed biscuit porcelain was introduced at Vincennes from 1751, and production continued after the factory moved in Sèvres in the late summer of 1756. The figures or groups were in sections in two-part plaster of Paris moulds cast from the model, and on removal from the moulds , the sections were joined together with slip before firing. reference term-106400 adlib-term-106400 3e80c102-1483-3c39-b2f4-67e333d653d8 18th Century reference term-15538 adlib-term-15538 e4001da7-ed48-3271-a6fb-c7f54095a1ad Louis XV reference term-113750 adlib-term-113750 9c94e435-9cde-38f2-b190-3a9ff2a77005 literal France France country Sèvres biscuit reference term-113708 adlib-term-113708 ca56455d-71d5-3da6-b970-5dc23348b03f soft-paste biscuit porcelain Height cm 20.1 Width cm 15.9 reference media-67030 adlib-media-67030 cfb19af2-6377-38fc-8256-3821476bc0a6 jpeg aa/aa23/C_11_1947.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 507 1742585192523 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/mid_C_11_1947.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1742585192523 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/C_11_1947.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 507 1742585192523 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/preview_C_11_1947.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1742585192523 1 image 0 media image reference media-2116763287 portfolio portfolio-media-2116763287 848b3e66-2460-390f-8267-98531a5dacde jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/512/large_C_11_1947_200903_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1536 width pixels 1024 1529202514000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/512/mid_C_11_1947_200903_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1529202514000 1 image C.11-1947_200903_mfj22_mas.tif 1529202514000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/512/preview_C_11_1947_200903_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1529202514000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/512/C_11_1947_200903_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 5120 width pixels 3413 1529202514000 1 image 1 media image reference term-110220 adlib-term-110220 e22d3544-a393-3f19-9be4-dc2632ca9942 figure group history note uncertain before Mrs W.D.
