Prague Flutist w/ Dog Figurine

This is a rare figurine made by Ludwigsburg in the early 19th century towards the end of this maker. It is of a flutist playing his instrument to his dog. Very well modeled and painted and something you won't see again anytime soon or ever again. This is only the second Prag figurine I have ever seen. The figure has seen better days but I think it is mostly due to one of those overzealous restorers :) They like to overpaint much more than necessary and it is something that is all too common :( His hat has flaking to the paint, a chip and some restoration to it, his fluteand hands are overpainted which ahs yellowed though there is a flake in the overpaint and the original finger is underneath so like I said - way overdone! The dog and his legs were probably off the base and the dogs legs, butt and the bottom part of the guy's legs are heavily overpainted. I am fairly sure if you redid the work it is just a break and could be done much nicer these days. A small chip to the side base. Either way a very rare figurine by a rare smaller maker and it still is plenty nice to display in even the best collections! It is marked underneath with a black script P. mark as shown. The piece is 5.25 inches tall and the base is 2.75 inches wide by 2.25 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures. Prag
