Exceptional meissen porcelain genre group: young mother seated on a magnificent louis xvi-style armchair, her left foot set down on a low stool, a boy lying on his stomach on her left thigh, his white shirt slipped up to reveal his bare buttocks, which the mother has probably just struck with the cane in her left hand, to her right a girl in a dress and hat decorated with feathers, clasping her mother's arm so that she can no longer strike the boy. The group is based on an oval pedestal with gold heightened frieze decoration on the sides. Particularly elaborate, detailed design and staffage.
this model was based on drawings by johann eleazar zeissig, known as 'schenau' (1737-1806). Designed by johann carl schönheit (1730 - 1805) in 1788 started working as an apprentice in the meissen factory in 1741 and has been in a responsible position since 1768. For more than 20 years, schönheit was an employee of both j.j. Kändler as well as from m.v. Acier, who entered the meissen factory in 1762. After kändler's death in 1775, schönheit was head of the model department until 1794.
