Originaltitel
Auf einem mit plastischen Blüten und Blättern belegtem Sockel szenische Darstellung eines galanten Paares. Auf einer Steinbank sitzende Dame in polnischer Tracht aus gelbem, mit Kakiemonblüten gemusterten, pelzgefüttertem, langem Mantel über purpurfarbenem, von Goldblüten und Rankenwerk gemustertem Gewand. Das Haar von einer pelzverbrämten Mütze bedeckt. Seitlich zugewandter, sich ehrerbietig vorbeugender, polnischer Edelmann in blauem Gewand mit gegürtetem Schwert, ihr einen Handkuss gebend. Zu ihren Füßen ruhender, weiß-schwarz gefleckter Wachtelhund. Polychrome Malerei mit Gold. Entw. Johann Joachim Kaendler, um 1743. Herstellungsbed. Brandrisse. Minim. rest.; H. 17 cm. L. 23 cm.
In der Taxa Kaendlers ist verzeichnet "1. Grouppgen, eine Pohln. Dame in einen Pelz auf Rasen sitzend, zu welcher sich ein wohlgekleideter Pohle kömt, und ihr die Hände küßet, 14. Thlr.". Als Vorlage zur Figur der Polin diente Kaendler wohl ein Kupferstich nach Watteaus verschollenem Gemälde "La Polonaise". Da Polen und Sachsen durch die Personalunion eng miteinander verbunden waren, ist der Entwurf zur Gruppe "Der polnische Handkuss" wohl von August dem Starken, Kurfürst von Sachsen und König von Polen in Auftrag gegeben worden.
