"Fiddler" is a small, lead-glazed earthenware figurine depicting a man playing the violin. It was made by Astbury-Whieldon in England between 1745 and 1755. This is an example of Staffordshire figure, a popular form of folk art in the 18th century. This particular figure is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The figure's simple yet expressive details, such as the green jacket and brown shoes, make it a charming example of the early English pottery tradition.
