Meissen porcelain figurine from the series The Cries of Paris, Girl with a Lyre (Mädchen mit Leier). Model created by Peter Reinicke around 1753-1754. Marked with blue crossed swords and numbered 20, 20th century, height: 14 cm. Restoration in the lira. Listed in the Meissen Bergmann catalog.

History of the Cries of Paris
Criage appears as a public service under the authority of the king. Men, women, and children wandered the streets and shouted their goods or services to attract customers. Each trade had its own characteristic cry. Meissen drew inspiration from these trades and created a series of 34 figurines featuring his characters.
