Turk 1760 - 1770

"Turk" is a porcelain figurine created by the Doccia Porcelain Manufactory between 1760-1770. The figurine depicts a man in traditional Turkish attire, complete with a patterned robe, fur-trimmed cloak, and a tall, conical hat. The figure is standing on a small base and is realistically modeled, with attention to detail in the facial features and clothing. This piece is a fine example of 18th-century European porcelain and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
