Child (one of a pair) 1776 - 1786

This porcelain figurine, "Child (one of a pair)," was created by the Fulda Pottery and Porcelain Manufactory between 1776 and 1786. The figurine depicts a young girl in a charming dress, holding a basket full of fruit. The intricate details of her clothing and the delicate rendering of her features highlight the artistry of the Fulda Manufactory, a leading producer of porcelain figures during the late 18th century. The figurine's delicate porcelain construction and pastel colors lend a sense of innocence and grace, capturing the spirit of the Rococo period. The figure, a testament to the craftsmanship of the Fulda Pottery and Porcelain Manufactory, is now a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
