A delightful and rare figure depicting a boy and girl holding a large orange ribbon.
The boy wears a cobalt tunic, plumed hat, and red plaid socks. The girl wears a cobalt bodice, plaid skirt, plumed hat, and pink bloomers. The scene is modelled on a light green base, and the boy’s left foot is placed on a wall or stairs.
The model of these two performers can also be found on a fabulous equestrian figure.
The figure is in very good condition. There is a small nibble to the tip of the girl’s independently modelled right hand, and some spots of flaking to black features and the light green base.
