Lalage 1758 - 1772

"Lalage," a porcelain figurine crafted by the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory between 1758 and 1772, showcases the exquisite artistry of 18th-century German porcelain. This delicately sculpted figure, standing just 7 1/2 inches tall, depicts a lady in a richly detailed blue and gold dress adorned with colorful floral motifs. The figurine’s graceful pose and intricate details embody the Rococo style, a period known for its elegance and playful ornamentation. This exquisite piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, offers a glimpse into the fine craftsmanship of the Nymphenburg Manufactory and the aesthetic ideals of the Rococo era.
