Doedelzakspeler van veelkleurig beschilderde faïence c. 1760 - 1785

This 18th-century faience figurine, crafted by De Porceleyne Byl, depicts a man playing a bagpipe. The figure is meticulously detailed, with a colorful palette used to depict the man's attire, including a green jacket, red breeches, and a black hat. This small, but vibrant sculpture (27 cm in height) is an example of the popular genre of 18th-century European art, showcasing both artistic skill and the fascination with everyday life. It is likely that the figurine was originally a part of a larger collection of similar figures, each representing a different profession or social role.
