The piece bears the underglaze blue Ludwigsburg mark to the base.

Please note: the piece is missing a small element above the gentleman's raised hand, visible in the detail photos — likely part of an object he originally held. Sold in this condition as an antique collector's piece.

A lively, well-modeled genre group with charming folk character, typical of Ludwigsburg's rustic and pastoral figure production. This piece has an attribution mark,
