Group: Hunters or Lovers c. 1765

The porcelain sculpture, *Group: Hunters or Lovers*, was created in 1765 by German sculptor Naselmeyer Naselmeyer (1756-1824). The work depicts a hunter and a woman, likely a couple, seated in a forest setting, suggesting a romantic encounter. The elaborate and colorful porcelain details, including the figures' attire, the foliage, and the small dog, showcase the artist's skill in capturing the beauty of nature and the intimacy of human connection. The piece is currently located in the Art Institute of Chicago and serves as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of 18th-century German sculpture.
