Harlequin dancing 1763 - 1764

This trio of porcelain figurines, known as "Harlequin Dancing", were created by the Meissen Manufactory in Germany between 1763-1764. The figures depict three commedia dell'arte characters, with a playful and whimsical expression. The central figure, Harlequin, stands on a rock and plays a flute, while the other two figures, possibly Columbine and Pantaloon, are holding props and engaging in animated gestures. These figurines demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship and artistry associated with the Meissen Manufactory during the Rococo period, renowned for its intricate details and elegant designs.
