This small porcelain figure of a Chinese figure holding a bird is a prime example of Chinoiserie, a style popular in Europe in the 18th century. Made in the Saint James's Factory in England between 1745 and 1760, this figure is adorned with a delicate floral pattern and gold accents, reflecting the European fascination with the East. This figurine, currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring influence of Eastern art and culture on Western aesthetics.
