This pair of porcelain figures, created at the Saint-Cloud factory between 1725 and 1745, are a testament to the French fascination with Chinoiserie. Dressed in elaborate, fantastical attire reminiscent of Chinese fashion, the figures embody a stylized and romanticized vision of the East. The vibrant colors, intricate floral patterns, and dynamic poses contribute to the overall charm and appeal of these small-scale sculptures. The Saint-Cloud factory, known for its high-quality porcelain, produced a wide range of decorative objects, including these charming figures that exemplify the artistic trends of the 18th century.
