TEXTS



Although no further data is available on the figure, there is little to be gained in identifying it as a cherub. From its iconographic features and above all from the figure’s enameled appearance, one can suppose a connection between Reclinig Cherub (?) and Allegory of Painting on Ceramic in that the figure appears effectively to imitate a porcelain or enameled ceramic sculpture.
