Meissen, sword mark, 1st choice, model by JJ Kaendler 1740, model no. 64564 (old D 36), figure from the series of the Commedia dellarte/Italian comedy, on a flat base with support, painted in colors, decorated with gold, H approx. 17 cm, after 1973. The Meissner manufactory produced various, partly repeatedly revised series of small theater sculptures based on designs by JJ Kaendler, P. Reinicke, JF Eberlein and FE Meyer. The Italian comedian figures, almost always wearing masks, reflect certain types or professions. It was played without a fixed text, mostly only with scenic instructions in the form of farcical impromptu theatre.
