"Hunters with Attendant" is a porcelain sculpture made by the Höchst Manufactory, a prominent German porcelain factory, between 1755 and 1765. The sculpture, currently located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, depicts a group of hunters, including a man who appears to be asleep or resting. The scene is full of detail, featuring trees, dogs, and a dead stag. The sculpture is a fine example of Rococo style, popular in Europe during the 18th century, characterized by its elegant curves and playful details. The sculpture is set on a gilded base, adding a touch of opulence.
