Flower Seller 1740 - 1755

The "Flower Seller" is a ceramic figurine created by Chantilly between 1740 and 1755. The figurine depicts a woman in a traditional dress, holding a tray of flowers. The detail in the figure's dress and the realistic portrayal of the flowers are hallmarks of the Chantilly porcelain factory, known for its intricate decorative work. The figurine, now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the 18th-century French porcelain industry.
