Figure 7 “Tom et Evangeline” and “La Fuite d’Elise,” Limoges, ca. 1850–1860. Biscuit- and glazed hard-paste porcelain with polychrome enamels and gilding. H. 11 3/4". (Courtesy, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Bayou Bend Collection, museum purchase in memory of Genevieve Lydian Dutton Gundry by her son Jas A. Gundry, acc. nos. b2000.6.1, 6.2.)
