Stunning Derby Porcelain Figure Vulcan Four Classical Seasons Winter c.1760

A very fine and rare large Derby figure of Winter from The Four Classical Seasons variants after the series by Meissen modelled by Kaendler in c.1750. A suitably bleak scene; he stands on a scrolled base set against a small bocage, huddling up against the cold and sparsely covered with a fur trimmed shawl. A small brazier sits at his feet and companion putto stands on his other side chopping up a small pile of wood. Superb attention to detail, the quality of the modelling and decoration is exceptional. Unmarked, dating from c.1760.
