The Penitent Magdalene, ca. 1783–90, German, Meissen, Hard-paste biscuit porcelain, 8 3/4 × 11 13/16 × 6 7/16 in. ( × 30 × cm), Ceramics-Porcelain, The pose of the Magdalene is derived from a painting by Pompeo Batoni (1708–1787) that entered the Royal Saxon collections in the 1750s. Christian Gottfried Jüchtzer, the modeler of the figure, has taken Batoni’s late Baroque composition and given it a distinctly neoclassical aspect, an impression reinforced by the use of biscuit porcelain which is so similar visually to marble
