This porcelain sculpture, titled "Man and Woman with Sleigh," is a charming example of the Rococo style, made by the Ansbach Pottery and Porcelain Manufactory in Germany between 1760 and 1770. The figures, depicted in 18th-century attire, are intricately detailed and painted in vibrant colors, showcasing the skill of the Ansbach artisans. The woman sits gracefully in a decorative sleigh, while the man, wearing a tricorn hat, propels the sleigh forward. The piece is a delightful depiction of courtship and leisure, typical of Rococo imagery. The use of gold gilding adds a touch of opulence to the sculpture, reflecting the Rococo period's taste for ornate embellishment.
