This small ceramic bust, made by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory, depicts William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland. The bust, made of white porcelain, is a testament to the growing popularity of porcelain during the 18th century, and showcases the skilled craftsmanship of the Chelsea manufactory. The delicate details of the Duke's features and the intricate lacework on his collar contribute to the realism of the sculpture.
