"Guitarist for the Monkey Band" is a charming porcelain figurine created by the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory in Germany around 1765. The figurine depicts a monkey dressed in a pink and yellow costume, playing a lute. The monkey's playful expression and the intricate details of its costume contribute to the figurine's whimsical charm. Meissen porcelain, known for its fine quality and intricate decoration, was highly sought after in the 18th century, and this piece is a prime example of the factory's artistic skill. The figurine is currently located in the Art Institute of Chicago.
