"Asia and Africa" is a white porcelain sculpture produced by the Vincennes Manufactory in France between 1747 and 1757. The piece depicts the allegorical figures of Asia and Africa, each standing upon a lion, symbolizing the continents' powerful and exotic nature. The sculpture's graceful lines and realistic detail showcase the high quality of the Vincennes Manufactory's work. This piece is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City and is a prime example of the Rococo style, popular in 18th-century France.
