Two Monkeys c. 1755

This charming porcelain figurine, created by the Bow Porcelain Factory in 1755, depicts two monkeys. The larger monkey sits on a bed of foliage, while the smaller monkey clings to its back. The playful interaction between the two animals is captured in exquisite detail, with delicate brushstrokes rendering their fur and facial expressions. The figurine is a prime example of the Bow Porcelain Factory's mastery of this popular genre of the 18th century. This piece is a delightful example of the factory's artistic output during the early years of their operation.
