À propos de la sculpture
Karl Eugen, duke of Württtemburg lived in regal style modelled on the court of Louis XV. Together with the fashionable pursuits of opera, ballet and hunting, he was passionate about porcelain and therefore founded his own porcelain factory at Ludwigsburg by ducal decree in 1758. A number of accomplished sculptors worked at the factory, among them Joseph Anton Weinmüller, who is recorded there for only a short time from 1765-67. During that time his greatest achievement was a series of large Chinese figure groups, of which this is one.
