A Naples (Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea) figure of a lady c.1790, wearing a tall plumed bonnet and with her hands concealed in a fur muff, 17cm.

Cf. Angela Carola Perrotti, Le Porcellane dei Borbone di Napoli, pp.524-527 for a discussion on this type of figure, where the author suggests that this type of dessert figure nearly always had a satirical meaning.
