"Schneider auf dem Ziegenbock" depicts a proud cavalier, sitting on a goat, with a pair of scissors in hand. He is dressed in a white frock coat over a light yellow vest adorned with Native American flower patterns, purple trousers, and black boots. He wears a tricorn hat on his head. On his broad, blue sash, there is an open pocket filled with sewing utensils. Hanging from the horns of the goat are large scissors, an iron, and needle cushions lying on the animal's back. The artwork is polychrome with gold accents. It is attributed to Johann Joachim Kaendler, created in 1737, model number 76015. It bears the crossed swords mark. The dimensions are 43 cm in height and 40 cm in width. The depicted figure is a satirical representation of the tailor Heinrich Graf von Brühl. The group was first sculpted in a large size in 1737. For similar examples, see Rückert, Catalogue of the Bayer National Museum, p. 170; Adams, Meissen Portrait Figures, p. 192; Jedding, p. 67. This large porcelain group portrays the Count Brühl's tailor as a mocking figure. Minor restoration work has been done. Crossed swords mark. Meissen. After 2000.
