Small Lady Playing Guitar Figurine

This is a cute little figurine of a lady playing the guitar made by Fuerstenberg around 1765. I could not find this model but did find a male violin player of the same size that was modeled by Anton Carl Luplau so I assume there is probably a whole set of these out there though rare for sure. The lady is nicely modeled with an orange skirt with nice gilding along the bottom edge, a pink long robe covering most of the rest of her. She is wearing a nice hat with a bow to it, has a yellow bow to the front and back and off course is holding the guitar. Typical early base. The figure is marked to the back of the base with the under glaze blue script F mark used from 1760 until 1770. The figure is superbly hand painted and is in great condition with some minor damage to a string end of the bow on her hat, similar damge to the orangestring in her hair and the end of the guitar has been restored as shown. None of this is obvious and she displays superbly! The figure is 3.5 inches tall, about 2.125 inches wide and 1.5 inches deep. Please email me for more information or photos.

Price is $699
