"Water Carrier" is a small porcelain figurine created by Paul-Louis Cyfflé between 1760 and 1770. The figure depicts a man in 18th-century dress carrying a water jug. Cyfflé was a famous French sculptor and porcelain maker, known for his detailed and realistic figures. This piece, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York, showcases his talent for capturing the details of everyday life in his work. The figurine is a great example of the Rococo style, characterized by delicate details and a playful approach to form.
