The finished work. The original frame has some labelling so was worth restoring - not that it gave a wealth of information.

Arthur William Head painting.
This painting was sold at Bonhams in 2001 - and hasn't been treated very well since the gavel fell..
It's an attractive work now it's clean. Beneath Chinese lantern stems sits a Meissen nodding china-man. He's chuckling at a statuette of 'Scaramuz and Columbine with a bird cage, from the "commedia dell'arte",embracing and gazing into each other's eyes, flanked by a tree, porcelain, polychromed and gilt, the base encrusted with leaves and with gilt edge, height: 18 cm. Meissen, model by Johann Joachim Kändler 1740.'
