From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
In an effort to rejuvenate its style of decoration, the Meissen factory acquired a large group of French engravings about 1740. During the next decade, figural decorations in the style of Antoine Watteau and his followers became a typical mode of decoration on Meissen pporcelain.
