The Large Bow 1765 - 1775

"The Large Bow" is a porcelain figurine produced by the Ludwigsburg Porcelain Manufactory in Germany between 1765 and 1775. The piece depicts three figures: two men dressed in 18th-century fashion, engaged in conversation, and a third man peering out from a window in the background. The scene is set against a backdrop of a ruined archway, perhaps suggesting the passage of time or the fragility of life. The intricate detail and delicate painting of the figures and the structure showcase the high level of craftsmanship associated with Ludwigsburg porcelain. This small-scale figurine, measuring just over 4 inches in height, is a charming and detailed example of Rococo-era decorative art.
