Lady Figurine with fish

This is a really nice figurine most likely made by Mennecy or possibly Tournai and definitely in the 18th century. I have not found this exact piece but there are not many makers that made soft paste of good quality and the style of this piece leads me to one of these two makers. The figurine is made of softpaste porcelain and is of a lady with some tiny fish by her left hand as well as another fish on the base by her right foot. Some greenery to the base as well. The lady is wearing a dress and a cloth draped over her arms. A tree stump to the back of her for support. A very well modeled piece and left in the white to show off all that nice detail - something that was more valued back then rather than colored examples. The figure is in great condition with a little bit of damage - her right hand is missing the thumb, some damage to the greenery on the base and the cloth that is draped over her right arm is damaged in the back - a chip as well as two hairlines to that section. She does display perfectly though and looks stunning! The piece is not marked but that is quite normal. The figure is 5.25 inches tall, 2 inches wide and 2 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
