For a similar figure of a boy modelled with a performing dog, see no. 53 catalogued by Luca Melagati. These children were based on Sèvres models of the 1750s after François Boucher and can probably be identified in the factory records as 'Groupeti Francesi'. In the introduction to the Cozzi section, 73p, the author states 'The Cozzi manufactory...was reluctant to relinquish rococo models even with the advance of neoclassical taste....' |
