From a set of The Five Senses probably modelled by Agostino Carlini, he modelled seated in an animated pose, his arms raised and his legs crossed, informally dressed in a partially unbuttoned waistcoat, breeches, tasselled night cap, voluminous coat and slippers, modelled seated with legs crossed and a parrot perched on a slender stump at her side, wearing a sack-back gown and frilled cap, 16.5cm and 17cm high (2)

Literature
White, Peter, 'Two distinct early Derby white groups of figures and some quandaries', ECC Trans, Vol.25, 2014, pp.165 and 175, figs.2 and 22;
White, Mary, People at the Whites' House, Vol.5, 2024, p.25, fig.a and b
The early Derby set of The Five Senses of which these figures form a part is clearly inspired by Meissen. Both figures are discussed by Peter Bradshaw, 'A Beggar, a Snuff-Taker, and a Lady', , Vol.12, Pt.1, 1984, p.27, where the Kändler model of 'Two Lovers seated on a green sward' is suggested as a possible source. More recently the set has been discussed by J V G Mallet, , 2003, pp.42-57 where the modelling is attributed to Agostino Carlini, and this attribution is reinforced by Peter White, 2014, pp.171-4. An example of 'Sight' retaining the hand mirror is illustrated by F Brayshaw Gilhespy, , 1965, pl.12 (right). A coloured 'Dry Edge' version of 'Touch' was sold by Bonhams on 30 November 2022, lot 364. White versions of both figures from the Mavis Bimson Collection were sold by Bonhams on 14 December 2023, lots 290 and 289 respectively.
