"Cris de Paris"


"Cris de Paris" - Vetri e porcellane

The series depicts the criers and hawkers of 18th cent. Paris and presents a lively and realistic image of these individuals, their dress, gestures and features. They include public servants, salesmen, small-time merchants, middlemen, tradesmen, performers, street musicians, townspeople, as well as dandies and courtesans. The later two figures were at one time considered to portray a Polish courtier and a cavalier and as such not to be part of the series. However, they also appear as drawings in the work of Christoph Huet (1753) on which the series is based.
Christophe Huet, (Paris 31.10.1692-5.9.1765 Paris) probably created his drawings with this particular project in mind. To this day they are in the archive of the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory. The detailed pen and wash drawings are annotated in German and French, indicating painted decoration and form. The famous Meissen modeller, Peter Reinicke created the models ca. 1753-1754. Lit.: Martin Eberle, Cris de Paris, Meissener Porzellanfiguren des 18. Jh., Leipzig 2001, pp 70, No 21 ; The above 34 figures were made at the Meissen Manufactory between 1930-1960, bear the underglaze blue crossed swords, are polychromed and gilt and in perfect condition. This particular "Cris de Paris" group is distinguished by the fact that it is a complete ensemble from a private collection. All 34 figures will be offered as 1 lot, appraisal value Euro 26-40.000,(Ru)
