A large Vienna group of a family, circa 1780

Modelled by Joseph Dangel, after a design by Anton Grassi, with a seated man playing the recorder, a young girl holding sheet music up to him, the wife standing beside him with her arm over his shoulder and a toddler seated on the base in front, a boy with a flower basket kneeling at the back, the grassy base edged with gilt scrolls, 30cm high, shield mark in underglaze-blue (haircrack to base)

Footnotes

A white example of the group is in the collection of the Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Vienna, inventory no. KE 6071. Due to their exotic clothing, the group has also been referred to as a "Polish family".
