Miniature Lady Figurine

This is a cute figurine made in France or England in the late 18th century. It is of a lady drummer which is something I have never seen. She is holding a pipe? in her left hand and a drum stick in her right hand with the drum being in front of her. A nicely made figurine and she is handpainted well, too. There are few non obvious issues - the tip of the pipe seems to be restored, the right hand and drum stick are as well. She also has wear to the gold trims. I know I have seen this style figurine before but cannot place it right now. Might come to me later. The face seems a good clue and the glaze on the base is green where it pools. Last clue is that the rim of the base is unglazed and the underside very smooth and solid. I am sure someone can figure this one out :) The lady is 3.375 inches tall, 1.875 inches wide and 1.375 inches deep. Unmarked which makes it a bit more interesting and complicated. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $999
