On a rocaille-relief pedestal, there are sitting and standing girls and boys as gardeners, winemakers, and shepherds in summery Rococo clothing, partly adorned with lace trimmings. They are depicted with various attributes, including flower, grape, and vegetable baskets, a shepherd's crook, tools, and wine jugs, either playing music or accompanied by different animals. The polychrome painting is embellished with gold accents. It is either by Johann Joachim Kaendler and Michel Victor Acier, around 1740 or 1778/79, partly with minor damage or restoration. Sword marks. Height ranges from 10 cm to 14 cm. The "love of nature" is clearly reflected in the landscape gardens and orangery of the generously designed palace complexes of European princely courts, which served not least as representations of power. The courts also cultivated viticulture and managed fruit plantations. The interest in nature is also reflected in Meissen porcelain dishes in the form of tree-lined landscapes in Watteau scenes or in the figures of gardeners, shepherds, and winemakers. Johann Joachim Kaendler (1706-1775) and his collaborator Michel Victor Acier (1736-1799) created various series of gardener children.
