Chinese horseman 1760 - 1770

This porcelain figurine, created by the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory in the mid-18th century, depicts a Chinese horseman riding a richly adorned horse. The figure is a testament to the European fascination with Chinese culture during the Rococo period. The meticulous detail and delicate coloring of the porcelain are characteristic of Nymphenburg’s renowned craftsmanship. The inclusion of hunting dogs at the base of the sculpture adds a touch of realism and further emphasizes the theme of leisure and equestrian pursuits favored by European aristocracy. This "Chinese horseman" figurine is a fine example of Rococo-era porcelain art.
