Allegorical group

Manufacture Oud-Loosdrecht, c. 1782 - c. 1784

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.
