This charming porcelain figure, created by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory between 1750 and 1760, depicts a monkey carrying a young monkey on its back. The figure is an example of the popular "menagerie" genre, reflecting the growing interest in exotic animals during the 18th century. The detailed modeling and delicate painting of the monkeys are characteristic of the Chelsea factory's high-quality production, showcasing the artistic skill and innovative techniques used in the production of English porcelain. This miniature piece, measuring 2 1/4 × 3 3/4 inches, is a beautiful testament to the artistic sophistication of 18th century porcelain.
