Wilhelm Caspar Wegely's "Figure of a monkey", created between 1752 and 1757, is a small-scale porcelain sculpture. The monkey is depicted in a seated pose, holding a fruit in its hand, with its tail wrapped around a tree trunk. The work's white glaze and delicate details are characteristic of Wegely's style, demonstrating the growing popularity of porcelain during the mid-18th century. The sculpture's small size suggests it was likely intended as a decorative object for a private collection or a domestic setting.
