Description
A rare Bow figure of Pedrolino or Pierrot c.1755, from the Commedia dell'Arte, wearing a yellow costume edged in black pencilled scrolls, his arms outstretched, standing before flowering bocage, 15cm.
The figure was first modelled by Reinicke at Meissen, using an engraving by Francois Joullain in Louis Riccobini's 'Histoire du Theatre Italien', published in 1731, and was faithfully copied by Bow.
