The musician is seated on a low rough white stump, on a flat white base, decorated with applied and painted coloured flowers and foliage. His cello rests on the ground between his legs, and as he plays he looks away towards the right, his head inclined to the instrument. His long hair, gathered by a black band, trails down his back. He wears a three cornered black hat, caught up by straps and a gold button, and a short cream coloured coat decorated with mauvy-brown sprays, trimmed with gold. It is split up three times at the back and open at the wrists to show frilled cuffs of his white shirt. He also wears blue breeches with gold buttons and trimmings, white stockings, and black shoes with gold buckles. title: figure NOTES ----- type: history note value: Bought from Willy Lissauer, Berlin, on 23 July 1933, for £36 by Cecil, 2nd Baron Fisher (1868-1955); Lord and Lady Fisher of Kilverstone LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts collection: Lord Fisher creditline: Given by Lord and Lady Fisher through the National Art Collections Fund STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/140335 PEOPLE ------------------- Fisher, Cecil Vavasseur TECHNIQUES ---------- glazing (coating) TECHNIQUES ---------- press-moulding CATEGORIES ------ category: hard-paste porcelain DATING ------ creation date: 1745 - 1745 creation date earliest: 1745 creation date latest: 1745 culture: 18th Century, Mid culture: Friedrich August III CREATORS -------- maker: Meissen Porcelain Factory maker: Kändler, Johann Joachim DIMENSIONS ---------- dimension: Height units: cm value: 15.2 CITATIONS -------- Catalogue of the Early Dresden Porcelain made at the Meissen Factory 1746-1751 in the Collection of Cecil, 2nd Baron Fisher of Kilverstone, and Jane, his Wife, of Kilverstone Hall in the County of Norfolk Continental Ceramics, 5 October 1987 Die autonomen figürlich Plastiken Johann Joachim Kaendlers und seiner Werkstatt zwischen 1731 und 1748, 2 volumes --- IMAGES surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/aa/aa20/C_6_1954.jpg height: 760 pixels width: 603 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/aa/aa20/mid_C_6_1954.jpg height: 630 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/aa/aa20/C_6_1954.jpg height: 760 pixels width: 603 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/aa/aa20/preview_C_6_1954.jpg height: 315 pixels width: 250 pixels
