Four Seasons (Autumn) 1753 - 1755

This porcelain figurine, titled "Four Seasons (Autumn)", depicts a young man holding grapes, symbolizing the harvest season. Created by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory between 1753 and 1755, the figurine exemplifies the Rococo style with its delicate details and graceful pose. The figure's clothing, particularly the blue breeches, and the overall pastel palette add to the Rococo aesthetic. This small but intricate piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the artistry and technical prowess of the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory during the 18th century.
