"Europe and America" is a white porcelain sculpture made by the Orléans Manufactory in France between 1755 and 1775. The sculpture depicts two figures, representing Europe and America, posed on a rocky base. The figure on the left, representing Europe, holds an arrow and sits with a quiver of arrows behind her. The figure on the right, representing America, holds a globe. The Orléans Manufactory was known for their exquisite porcelain, and this sculpture is a fine example of their work. The sculpture, which is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is considered an important work of Rococo-era sculpture.
