This porcelain figurine, one of a pair, depicts a bullfinch perched on a tree branch, created by the Vincennes Manufactory, a French porcelain factory, between 1744 and 1755. The intricate details of the bird’s feathers and the realistic portrayal of the tree branch showcase the factory’s expertise in the art of porcelain. This piece is a testament to the growing popularity of naturalism in European art during the 18th century and highlights the artistry of the Vincennes Manufactory, a prominent figure in the development of French porcelain.
