Figure of a harlequin c. 1744 - 1749

This porcelain figurine, created by the Kaiserliche Porzellanmanufaktur in the mid-18th century, depicts a harlequin figure in a dynamic pose. The figure, crafted in white porcelain, is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the renowned porcelain factory. The harlequin's exaggerated posture and detailed clothing, although simplified in the white glaze, hint at the playful and comedic nature associated with this iconic character. The figurine, measuring 15.1 cm in height, is a charming example of the exquisite artistry of 18th-century German porcelain.
