The Happy Family 1740 - 1750

"The Happy Family" is a porcelain sculpture created by the Meissen Manufactory in Germany between 1740 and 1750. The sculpture depicts a family scene with a man playing a flute, a woman holding a child, and a dog. The figures are modeled in a naturalistic style, with a focus on delicate details. This small-scale sculpture is a prime example of the Meissen Manufactory's signature white porcelain, known for its high quality and exquisite craftsmanship. "The Happy Family" is currently located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
