This porcelain sculpture, created by the Meissen Manufactory between 1735 and 1745, is a fine example of German Rococo artistry. It features a realistically sculpted bird of prey, perched on a branch, with a nest of small birds below. The elaborate detail, such as the bird’s feathers and the intricate floral design, demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship of the Meissen factory. The Rococo style is evident in the delicate and flowing lines of the sculpture, which is a testament to the elegance and beauty of the era.
