In his right hand he holds a large fish up to his shoulder, and a smaller fish in his left hand. The head and tail of two other fish protrude through his shirt. At his left side hangs a drab wallet, slung over his shoulder by a rope. His unkempt black hair hangs raggedly over his right shoulder. He wears a red flower pot hat with a drab turned-up brim, and short blue coat with yellow cuffs and lining, the right sleeve turned up above the elbow. A loose white shirt is fastened under his chin by one gold button, and his putty coloured breeches are rolled up above his knees. His legs and feet are bare. title: figure NOTES ----- type: history note value: Bought from Willy Lissauer, Berlin on March 28 1933 for £25 LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts collection: Fisher Collection creditline: Given by Lord and Lady Fisher through the National Art Collections Fund STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/140169 PEOPLE ------------------- Fisher, Cecil Vavasseur fisherman SUBJECTS ------------------- selling selling TECHNIQUES ---------- press-moulding CATEGORIES ------ category: hard-paste porcelain DATING ------ creation date: 1740 - 1745 creation date earliest: 1740 creation date latest: 1745 culture: 18th Century, Mid CREATORS -------- maker: Meissen Porcelain Factory maker: Kändler, Johann Joachim DIMENSIONS ---------- dimension: Height units: cm value: 18.4 CITATIONS -------- Catalogue of the Early Dresden Porcelain made at the Meissen Factory 1735-1747 in the Collection of Cecil, 2nd Baron Fisher of Kilverstone, and Jane, his Wife, of Kilverstone Hall in the County of Norfolk Die autonomen figürlich Plastiken Johann Joachim Kaendlers und seiner Werkstatt zwischen 1731 und 1748, 2 volumes ---
