This porcelain figurine, created by Jean-Jacques Louis around 1765, depicts a butcher carrying a piece of meat on his shoulder. The figure is standing on a small, tree-like base with a verdant ground, which is characteristic of the rococo style popular during Louis's time. This artwork, now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection, is an example of the detailed craftsmanship and attention to everyday life that were hallmarks of 18th-century porcelain figurines.
