This 18th-century porcelain jar, crafted by the Capodimonte Porcelain Manufactory, showcases a whimsical scene depicting three figures in comical attire. The figures, dressed in white with pointed hats, engage in musical activities. One rides a horse, another plays a drum, and the third blows a horn. The scene is painted in delicate colors on a white ground and framed by a decorative border. This delightful piece, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the Capodimonte Manufactory's expertise in decorative arts.
