This is an endearing courting scene featuring a man seated upon a rock beside a woman holding flowers. An open bird cage rests at his side, and he holds a lovely purple, orange and yellow bird. This is a highly detailed piece with a number of handpainted features, including their clothing, the basket and holly leaves at her feet, as well as the gold gilding of the flowing rococo-style base. The bottom of the piece is stamped with a blue N, though there is a hole directly above it where a crown mark may have once been. The piece is in good condition, with only a few chips in the flower petals, as well as the hole in the bottom of the base. Priced as is!
