This figure belongs to small group of early Derby white figures derived from Meissen originals by Kändler of about 1740, see the footnote to the lady flautist, lot 57 in this sale. The figure itself is slip-cast, but the base is modelled from two squares of porcelain placed one on top of the other, making it unusually heavy, see Peter Bradshaw, 1990, p.17. Compare also to lots 185 and 191 in this sale for two more models from the same class, including one dated 1751.
