Waldo-Sibthorp\r\nThis figure of a young Persian woman is a faithful reproduction based on an engraving of a Femme Persienne, made by Gerard Scotin from a painting by Jean Baptiste Vanmour, based on the Recueil de Cent Estampes Representant Differents Nations du Levant by Charles de Ferriol (DE FERRIOL 1714, vol. XX, plate 91 reproduced in CEFARIELLO GROSSO 1988, p. 63, fig. 81). This important series of 24 “oriental” figures is composed of both isolated pieces and ones made as bases for candlesticks. It represents one of the most important sets of small-sized sculptures produced at the Doccia factory under the direction of Marquis Lorenzo Ginori. The various subjects belonging to the series are described in detail in the Inventory of Moulds in “Room6”: “No. 35 at this number there are 24 oriental figures for which the moulds are all marked with the number 35 and they are: Turkish soldier. Turkish woman. Turkish girl. Seated Turk. Soldier. Turkish woman. Bassà. Turkish servant. Janissary. Turk. Moorish woman. Eunuch. Greek priest. Seated Turk. Turk. Turkish woman. Armenian. Armenian woman. Officer. Girl. Greek priest. Turkish woman. Sultana. Turkish girl” (AGL, I, 2, f. 37, Fabbrica delle Porcellane di Doccia. Scritture edocumenti, fasc. 22). When purchased the figure was described as a Circassian woman made at Capodimonte (concerning the mistaken attributions of objects from Doccia\r\nto Capodimonte in English collections, see MARITANO 2012, p. 14-17). For another Persian figure, see LIVERANI 1967, plate LV.
