A Nymphenburg figure of Anselmo, c.1920, modelled from the Commedia dell'Arte by Franz Anton

A Nymphenburg figure of Anselmo, c.1920, modelled from the Commedia dell'Arte by Franz Anton Bustelli, leaning on a cane and raising his left forefinger to his lips, wearing a black cloak over a yellow tunic, raised on a flat base edged in gilt, impressed shield mark, 18.5cm.

This figure was part of a set of 16 paired figures that Bustelli modelled. The source for Anselmo is an engraving called Sieur Geronte by Martin Engelbrecht, a copy of which is known to have been in Bustelli's possession.
