Allegorical Group,

Loosdrecht, 1782-1784

Biscuit porcelain
An elegantly dressed gentleman pays an old beggar woman to have his shoes polished by her son.
His favourite pastime is symbolized by the statue of Diana, goddess of the hunt.
The social theme depicted here was quite unusual for a porcelain figure group.
