A German porcelain fairing figurine depicting a comical scene titled The last in bed to put out the light. The group features a couple in white nightclothes; one figure is seated in a bed with a floral-patterned coverlet, while the other leans from the side to extinguish a lamp or candle on a bedside table. The figurine is crafted from glazed porcelain with hand-painted polychrome enamel details and gilt highlights. The title is inscribed on the front of the base in black cursive script. This type of porcelain group was typically produced in Germany for the British market during the late 19th century. The piece exhibits the simplistic, mass-produced decorative quality characteristic of Victorian fairings.
