Lovers in an Arbour c. 1759

This charming porcelain sculpture, "Lovers in an Arbour," was created by Johann Fredrich Lück around 1759. The figurine depicts a young couple seated in a delicate, ornate arbour, their romance captured in the intricate detail and playful gesture of the figures. The use of delicate floral patterns and gold accents reflects the Rococo style, popular during this era. The sculpture, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the 18th century, capturing the spirit of romanticism and courtly life.
