Examined by Clare le Corbeiller 1990 and considered probably Mennecy on the grounds of paste, glaze and the existence of other Mennecy beggars. 1994 FPS: Aileen Dawson queried whether it was too static for Mennecy. In 1998 Bernard Rondot condsidered the figure probably Mennecy, adding that there is another with the DV mark. Aileen Dawson illustrates this piece in her Eighteenth-century French Porcelain in the Ashmolean Museum, 1996, no. 52, comparing it to a pair of figures of uncertain attribution. |
