Lady from Pair

This is a figurine of a lady made by Derby in about 1756-60. The figure is very well modeled and quite beautifully painted especially her skirt! She is likely one of a set of figurines - the senses - this one being hearing. She is playing a mandolin (or something along those lines) while sitting on a tree stump with flowers by her feet and she is quite early for Derby. Amazing how they got all this superb detail into a small figurine! The figurine is in amazing condition considering its age! The orange flower to her left side is a bit chipped which is not obvious at all and there is a firing flaw on the back by the stump on the base where it was probably stuck onto another piece but it is from the making and painted over and no big deal. The ends of the bow on her hat are chipped which is also not obvious at all. Her left foot was restored perfectly! So all in all as perfect as you will find a piece from this era. The figurine is unmarked underneath but that's common as well but she does have the typical underside with a light patchmark. The figurine is 4.75 inches tall, 3.5 inches wide and 2.25 inches deep.
