DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Soft-paste porcelain containing bone ash, figure of a Woman representing the Sense of Smell, press-moulded, with hand-modelled details, painted over lead-glaze in blue, green, yellow, pink, puce, orange-red, brown, and grey enamels, and gilt. The flat underside is unglazed and has a small circular ventilation hole near the back. The low straight-sided square base has a projecting pedestal on the viewer's right side. The front of the pedestal is decorated with a spray of applied flowers and leaves, and on its top there is a two-handled, globular covered vase.
The woman stands barefooted beside the pedestal resting her left hand on the vase, and holding up in her right hand a small bunch of flowers to smell. She has long brown hair with a pink and green scarf over it. She wears a gold bracelet on her left wrist, a white bodice with a polychrome floral pattern, open at the front to reveal her left breast, a yellow petticoat with a long pink overskirt patterned with dotted puce flowerheads, and a drape of two shades of blue with a yellow lining, and gold edging. The base and pedestal are marbled in pale blue, yellow, pink, and grey, and the flowers are of various colours. The vase is decorated in pink and puce and has gold edges.
