Popularization note

S. 2020 MŁ A wild boar cornered by two hounds A bisque group, one of five from a decorative tableware set, a so-called surtout de table depicting hunting scenes. These are copies of the Sèvres bisques modelled by Pierre Blondeau in 1752 and modelled after the compositions of Jean-Baptiste Oudry (1686-1755); they were made by Samson Ceramics in Paris at the end of the 19th c. This group was a gift of the Kent county for Elżbieta Potocka in connection with their visit to Łańcut (Wystawa biskwitów ze zbiorów Muzeum-Zamku w Łańcucie, Muzeum Narodowego w Warszawie z Oddziałem w Wilanowie, Muzeum Narodowego w Krakowie, Muzeum Narodowego w Poznaniu oraz osób prywatnych, Łańcut, 1973, pp. 52-56; information on bisques from Łańcut by Irena Radomska). The above bisque is a side group in a set of realistic hunting scenes. It shows two dogs attacking a wild boar. One of the dogs, with its front legs up and its muzzle open, is lying defeated at the feet of the boar. The other dog is attacking the boar by biting its ear. The base of the bisque is similar to an oval, with an uneven surface imitating the ground with tree trunks and branches. Barbara Trojnar
