Lady's head 1745 - 1760

This small, porcelain sculpture of a woman’s head, titled “Lady’s Head,” was made at the Mennecy factory in France between 1745 and 1760. The sculpture is notable for its striking use of color and detail, particularly the intricate black and white design covering the woman’s face. The artist, Mennecy, who worked in the mid-18th century, is known for his fine porcelain sculptures, and this piece is a testament to his skill. Today, "Lady’s Head" can be viewed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
