The underside of the base is unglazed, and has had the ventilation hole and two firing cracks filled with a brown substance. The low, irregular four-sided base has a tall tree stump at the back and is decorated with applied leaves and a yellow and a red and white rose at the front. The musician stands on his right leg with his left extended in front. In his left hand he holds a large brown pipe to his lips. In his right hand he holds a brown drum-stick with which he plays on a monstrous white drum decorated with pale brown rope trimmings. The base of the drum rests on the tree-stump, and it is supported by a beige strap which hangs over his left arm. The drummer has thick curly grey hair hanging down to his shoulders. He wears a black three-cornered hat with a gold stud on its left side, a white shirt with ruffles at the wrists, a long white coat with gold buttons; pale yellow breeches with gold bands at the knees; white stockings, and black shoes with gold buckles.106referenceexhibition-1609adlib-exhibition-16096d201037-48f1-3a69-9e4e-72551b7f32d0Treasures from the FitzwilliamC.32-19541accession numberC.32-1954131044priref131044old catalogue number391urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/131044https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/131044on back edge of basepainted underglaze in bluevery small crossed swordsfactory markon basehand-written in black inkFinscriptionon baseprinted in red and hand-written in black inkprinted in red, the Fisher crest with below 'No.' (o raised) followed by '391' hand-written in black inklabelreferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumGiven by Lord and Lady Fisher through the National Art Collections Fundreferenceagent-171103adlib-agent-17110380fad945-ac43-3823-9bca-eefd85fd5004Fisher, Lord and Lady195419541954-01-14given17471747circa1747factoryreferenceagent-163301adlib-agent-163301e48ba156-d9ec-3938-a33c-5360794eb376Meissen Porcelain Factorymodellerreferenceagent-113725adlib-agent-113725f5fca731-bfee-3d13-ab96-d9e33985150eReinicke, PeterThis figure is one of the first series of Meissen Cries of Paris.
