Recumbent lion c. 1764

This porcelain sculpture, created by the Weesper porseleinfabriek in 1764, depicts a reclining lion. The lion's pose is lifelike and detailed, with its mane flowing gracefully and its paws resting on a crumpled cloth. The sculpture is made of unglazed white porcelain, which creates a smooth and elegant finish. This piece, measuring 7.8 cm high and 9.8 cm wide, exemplifies the artistry of Dutch porcelain production during the 18th century.
