Rabbit Catchers 1750 - 1764

"Rabbit Catchers," a porcelain figurine by the Capodimonte Porcelain Manufactory, depicts two figures in 18th-century attire. The scene is a playful portrayal of a rabbit hunt, with the figure in green kneeling down and holding a small rabbit while the other figure, dressed in floral patterns, looks on. This work, dating back to 1750-1764, highlights the intricate craftsmanship and colorful palette characteristic of the Capodimonte porcelain manufactory, showcasing the artistic trends of 18th-century Italy. The figurine, currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a charming example of decorative art from the Rococo era, capturing a snapshot of everyday life through whimsical details and elegant form.
