The sculpture dates back to the early 19th century, between 1800 and 1820. The artistic quality of the sculpture is high. Note the beauty of the meticulous decorations on the skirt, all executed with a brush tip, the beauty of the lace made by hand with a technique similar to the classic "pâte-sur-pâte" of the oldest Meissen porcelains, and the beauty of the handkerchief on the girl's head. The porcelain is very hard and compact, full and solid. Bear in mind that the sculpture is very heavy, even though it is not particularly large.
