Bust portrait of Louis XVII in biscuit de porcelaine, as a boy of about 7 years with long locks up to the shoulders, wearing a chemisette with lace collar, on the chest left wide open, over it a sash from the right shoulder. The left shoulder is wrapped in a drapery drawn across the chest, mounted on a pedestal of dark ultramarine porcelain with golden piping. The mark is that of the manufacture royale de Sevres: jumbled, mirror-like L's, the loop of which, however, is not closed as usual, but open. This contains a small R, in addition a fashion designer brand, consisting of two crossed brackets, similar to Gatrice's, which, as far as is known, operated from 1757-74, while this bust cannot be older than 1792. The R in the classical Sevres work with closed loops on the L's, would mean the year 1770, France, Louis XVIII (king of France), anonymous, France (possibly), 1762 - 1792, biscuit (porcelain, material), h 41 cm w 25 cm × d 16 cm h 10 cm × w 12.9 cm × d 12.8 cm
