Couple Drinking Chocolate 1739 - 1749

"Couple Drinking Chocolate" is a porcelain figurine by Johann Joachim Kändler, made between 1739 and 1749. The Meissen porcelain model depicts a couple, dressed in 18th-century attire, enjoying a cup of chocolate. The figurine is highly detailed, with delicate painted features, elaborate clothing, and even a small dog. The couple's intimate interaction, coupled with the elegant setting, epitomizes the Rococo period's fascination with refined social life and romanticism. The figurine is a remarkable example of Kändler's mastery of porcelain sculpture and Meissen's influence on European art during the Rococo era.
