Doccia Sculpture Figurine

This is a superb figurine made by Doccia in the late 18th or early 19th century. It is of a lady in the center of the colorful base wearing a green robe with a purple cloth with a putto sitting on the base to her left side on top of a column and another putto standing next to her by a sculpted column top. Probably representing sculpture . The base is superb with the top looking like faux marble and the sides having the typical colorful scrolls one expects from Doccia of this period. The piece is amazingly well modeled and painted! These pieces are always so cheery. The figure is in good display condition but has issues - some of her fingers have been restored, the sitting putto has a finger on his upper hand restored, the standing putto's left arm was cleanly broken off and reglued with a bit of damage to his fingers and the purple cloth where they attached and whatever is on top of the sculpted column top has damage to it though I am not even sure it belongs there to begin with as it doesn't quite fit. Might have just been a plain column top that someone enhanced or there was something else on top that is missing. Not sure at all. In good shape for the age and a hard find to say the least. The piece is marked underneath with an under glaze blue N under a crown. The figure is 7.375 inches tall, 5 inches wide and 4.125 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
