This porcelain figurine set, created by the Meissen Manufactory between 1725 and 1737, depicts three figures dressed as Harlequin. The figures are dressed in the traditional attire of Harlequin, featuring a patterned costume with a mask. They are depicted in various poses, possibly representing a scene from a commedia dell'arte performance. The Meissen Manufactory was renowned for its high-quality porcelain, and these figurines are a testament to their craftsmanship. The figures are currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
