This trio of porcelain figures, produced by the Meissen Manufactory between 1722 and 1732, represents a popular genre of early 18th-century European art. Known as "figurines," these small, often humorous sculptures were highly prized as decorative objects. The figures are meticulously crafted and painted, showcasing the technical expertise of the Meissen porcelain factory, which was a pioneer in the development of hard-paste porcelain. This particular set likely depicts characters from a popular play or comedic performance, further illustrating the broader cultural influence of theater during this period.
