A well-modelled Parian figure of Rebecca at the well

A well-modelled Parian figure depicting the biblical story of Rebecca (Rebekah) at the well.  Rebecca is shown standing by a spring from which water is flowing, with her right hand raised to adjust her cloak over her head.  Beside her is a water jar (a work of art in itself - look at the details of the rope binding to the jar).  Unmarked for manufacturer.

According to the Old Testament account in Genesis, Rebecca was chosen as the wife of Isaac, the son of Abraham, after she drew water from the well for Abraham’s servant.

This figure is shown in The Parian Phenomenon in figure 886, where it is dated to c1860.  Height 54cm (21.3")

Condition: this figure is in very good condition with no damage or restoration. There is a short firing line on the base at the back of the figure.
