Beltrame and Columbine 1736 - 1746

"Beltrame and Columbine" is a porcelain figurine produced by the Meissen Manufactory between 1736 and 1746. The piece depicts two figures, a man and a woman, in elaborate 18th-century attire. The woman wears a flowing gown with floral patterns, while the man is dressed in a richly detailed doublet and breeches. Their elegant poses and the intricate details of their clothing exemplify the high quality and craftsmanship of the Meissen porcelain factory. This figurine is a fine example of the Meissen factory's production during the early Rococo period. The figure is currently located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
