Boy with goat 1755 - 1765

This small, delicately painted porcelain scent bottle from the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory depicts a young boy in a red cap interacting with a goat. The scene is reminiscent of pastoral themes popular in 18th-century art, emphasizing the idyllic life of the countryside. This bottle, created between 1755 and 1765, is a fine example of the high-quality porcelain and intricate detail that characterized the Chelsea Manufactory's production during this period. The bottle is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
