Description
Hard-paste porcelain, painted in green, pale yellow, flesh pink, red, brownish-grey and black enamels and gilt. The figure stands on a shaped oval base with scrolled edge picked out in gold. The youth stands on his right leg with left leg relaxed behind it. His right arm is bent at the elbow, and his left arm is stretched out to the left, and his hand is a standing dish with green leaves on it. He wears a yellow robe with white lining, which is caught up on the left hip and at the sides by gold buttons to reveal his legs, and falls down to the ground at the back and right side. The sleeves are caught up at the elbow by two gold buttons. He has pale yellow calf-length boots with a gold ornament on the front of each foot and on each top. He has a garland of leaves on his head, and he wears a leaf necklace supporting a circular medallion bearing a relief of the zodiac for Sagittarius.
