Footnote:
This figure has the marks that are similar to those used at Vincent Dubois' factory at the rue de la Rocquette. This factory closed in 1790, a date that is too early for this model. The marks were also used at the factory founded by Jean-Marx Clauss in rue de la Pierre-Levée in around 1820, a date which is also too early for this model. The factory changed ownership after 3 generations, when it was acquired by Achille Bloch, during whose ownership this figure was probably made. Production of its 'porcelaine de Paris' continues to this day. A series of 14 group figures all from Chardin's paintings was made at the request of Achille Bloch around 1908 and produced until 1970.
