| Object history | This figure is a companion to a 'Male with a basket of fruit and flowers', 7.5 inch., listed as No. 54 in the Minton Design Book (see Godden, G. Minton Pottery and porcelain of the First Period, 1793-1850, London, 1968, p. 91. Godden states that the paper of the book is watermarked 1839 but may be a fair copy of earlier drawings.)
