On the one hand, a minstrel or troubadour in 15th-century dress playing the harp and on the other hand, a singer with a dove (?) dressed in the same style. Very great profusion of colors and gilding making the difference between the productions of Jacob Petit's workshop and those anonymous, in his own way, but less complex. Jacob PetitA genius designer and technician, he renewed the field of hard porcelain, whose main manufactures gradually experienced difficulties under the July Monarchy. Unfortunately, Jacob Petit was not spared, and his sense of renewal through themes "from elsewhere": Ottoman, Far Eastern, Iberian models; as well as his abilities to put into production a polychromy and a rich gilding did not prevent him from going bankrupt in 1848... Condition report: accidents to the harp, to a wing, chips and wear. It is possible to have all these points restored.
