This porcelain figure, created by the Derby Porcelain Manufactory between 1770 and 1780, depicts an allegorical figure of America. The figure, a young child wearing a wreath of flowers and feathers, stands triumphantly atop a crocodile, symbolizing the continent's natural wonders and potential. The figure's elaborate ornamentation and vibrant colors highlight the artistic skill of the Derby Porcelain Manufactory, a renowned English porcelain producer. The sculpture, currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into 18th-century European views of the New World, as well as the artistry of the Derby Porcelain Manufactory.
