"Friar" is a porcelain figurine produced by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory between 1750 and 1760. The figurine depicts a friar, likely Saint Francis, with a staff and a pouch hanging from his belt. The Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory, established in 1744, was known for its high-quality porcelain figures and was active until 1784. This figurine, standing at just under 4 inches tall, is a fine example of the manufactory's craftsmanship and demonstrates their ability to capture detail and expression. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
