This porcelain figurine, "Columbine", was crafted by the Höchst Manufactory in Germany between 1745 and 1758. The figure is a representation of the character Columbine, a stock character in commedia dell'arte, who is known for her wit, grace, and charm. The figurine is dressed in a colorful costume adorned with flowers, reflecting the Rococo style popular during the period. The delicate details and intricate painting demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship that was characteristic of the Höchst Manufactory, one of the most renowned porcelain makers of the 18th century.
