Shepherd w/ Sheep Figurine

This is a porcelain figurine made by Royal Vienna around 1760. It is of a young gentelman shepherd with three of his sheep / goats under a tree on a typical base for this period with some puce scrolls to the outside. It is not a model I have seen before and it looks quite nice. Needs a bit of a cleaning! The figure displays superbly but there is some damage to the leaves, his right arm was broken off an relgued with a break through the whip near his hat, damage to stick in his other hand, a leaf on the base has a chip, one of the ears of one of the sheep is missing, a firing crack to the underside that come through the center of the top and resulted in cracks in the guy's feet and one back leg of a sheep. It's from when it was made and not considered true damage but needs to be mentioned either way. There is a blob of glue to the goat in the center and I think there used to be a line that ran from that spot to the stick but I am not sure. Sounds worse than it is and the piece displays superbly! The figurine is 6.25 inches tall, 4.5 inches wide and 3.375 inches deep. The figurine is marked underneath as shown with an underglaze early beehive mark as shown. Please email me for more information or photos.

Price is $999
