Russian Porcelain Figure of a Coachman
Gardner Manufactory, Verbilki, circa 1840
Modeled standing with his arms akimbo, wearing a tan coat, fuchsia hat and black boots, on a circular rocaille base, impressed mark and numeral under base. Height 7 7/8 inches (20 cm.).
The present figure is derived from the illustration by K.A. Zelentsov in Magic Lantern [Volshebnyi Fonar'] magazine in 1817. Illustrations of native Russian types in this popular periodical were the source of numerous porcelain figures produced by Russian manufactories in the nineteenth century. For other examples of this figure, see Gardner: XVIII - XIX: Porcelain Plastic Arts from Private Collections & Moscow Museums (Moscow, 2002), Nos. 11 and 12, pp. 104-105.
