Kop, beschilderd met pluimvee in een landschap c. 1782 - 1784

This cup, created by the Dutch artist Loosdrecht around 1782-1784, is a prime example of the delicate artistry and elegance of 18th-century porcelain. It features a hand-painted scene of a bird amidst a landscape, showcasing meticulous attention to detail and a naturalist style. The cup's small size, measuring 4.5 cm in height and 10.0 cm in width, highlights its intended use as a decorative and practical piece for tea or coffee. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this piece provides a glimpse into the artistry and domestic life of the Dutch Golden Age.
