See S. Ducret, ibid (1972), Vol. II, p. 47, where he notes that the beaker is from the 'Berner Service'. Ducret illustrates other pieces from the service in figs. 234-236, 245, 247, 258, 260 and 262-263. He also illustrates (p. 159, fig. 192) another beaker painted with the same scene of a scholar as on the present lot, and he illustrates Ridinger's engraving 'Das Gesicht' (The Face) which Seuter used to decorate the beakers (see fig. 193).
