The original Meissen version of this figure was created as by Reinicke part of the Duke of Weissenfels series, after the engraving 'Habit de Scapin' by Jouillain, published in Riccoboni's Histoire du Théâtre Italien in Paris in 1728. Scapin was the mischievous valet. A Meissen example was probably one of those lent to Sir Everard Fawkener for Chelsea to make copies by Sir Charles Hanbury Williams, the British Envoy to the Saxon Court in Dresden. For a Longton Hall figure of Pantalone from the same series, see lot 148 in this sale.
