Lot 762 | Hofnarr Fröhlich und Schmiedel. Originaltitel
Auf unregelmäßigem, reich mit plastischen Blüten und Blättern belegtem Sockel stehender Hofnarr Joseph Fröhlich in Tiroler Tracht mit Spitzhut und Stulpstiefeln. Auf seiner rechten Schulter sitzende Eule. In der erhobenen rechten Hand eine Maus haltend, die er dem sich abkehrendem Mitstreiter Gottfried Schmiedel, gekleidet in die Uniform eines sächsischen Postmeisters, vor das Gesicht hält. Entw. Johann Joachim Kaendler. Rest.; H. 24,5 cm.
Johann Joachim Kaendler erwähnt in seinen Arbeitsberichten "Joseph Fröhlich mit einer Mäuse-Falle, und Mr. Schmiedel, mit einer Eule, in den Händen haltend, und gegeneinander stehend." Diese Ausformung zeigt eine Variante des Modells mit Fröhlich in Tiroler Tracht und Schmiedel in Uniform eines Postmeisters. Anstelle der Mausefalle hält Fröhlich eine Maus, Schmiedel einen Rettich in der Hand. Der aus Bayern stammende Fröhlich erfreute sich seinerzeit als Taschenspieler großer Beliebtheit. Durch seine komisch-derben Späße unterhielt er August den Starken und seine Gäste bei zahlreichen Banketten. Seine Berühmtheit als markante Persönlichkeit schlägt sich in den vielfältigen Modellen aus Porzellan, Ton und Sandstein nieder.
