Original Design on Paper #2

This is what I believe to be a very rare original template on paper that the porcelain painters did in watercolors before actually painting these on porcelain. It would date to pre 1750 since the flowers are still the woodcut type and this template was for a Meissen miniature design. It is a battle scene with soldiers in tents and on horses. Gold rim around the design and the rest of the paper has the woodcut style flowers on it. Meissen crossed swords mark on the bottom of the paper as well as a black number 6. I bought these designs from a lady who had a large collection of them but other than that I have almost never seen these outside museums. The paper is 6 inches tall and 9 inches wide with the design being about 4 inches by 1.5 inches. I will eventually have these framed to show off on the wall. It is in good condition with a bit of staining one would expect over 200 plus years with paper. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
