Hard-paste porcelain painted in enamels
Hard-paste porcelain, moulded, and painted overglaze in pale blue, yellow, greyish-dark green, pink, flesh-pink, dark plum, red, grey, and black enamels. The underside of the base is glazed overall. It is divided into two halves by a strut and has a large ventilation hole in the left compartment which extends upwards into the figure of the woman. The group stands on a deep sided oval rocky base with a tree stump behind the man, painted in streaky grey overall. The woman stands on the viewer’s left with her left arm bent and the hand tucked into her skirt. In her right hand holds a fan by her side. She wears a pale blue turban, yellow earrings, a white dress with a frill round its low neckline, a black spotted pink overdress, a pale blue belt, and yellow shoes. The man stands on the viewer’s right. His left hand is tucked into his coat and he extends his right arm towards the child who stands between his parents. He wears a black three-cornered hat, a red waistcoat, a dark greyish-green coat, yellow breeches, white stockings and black shoes. The child wears a very pale blue hat, a dark plum all in one suit with a white collar and red sash, and black shoes. He looks left towards his father, and holds up both his arms towards his right.
