Single Figurines Cupid Girl with Monkey

The figurine "Cupid Girl with Monkey," crafted from fine Meissen porcelain, depicts a playful, lovingly rendered scene brimming with Baroque imagination. The winged Cupid appears here in a feminine form, embodying lightness, joie de vivre, and a humorous perspective on the world of nature and animals.

She tenderly holds a small monkey in her arms; as an unusual companion, it enlivens the scene and lends it a charming, almost mischievous touch. The contrast between the Amorette's delicate, angelic appearance and the lively animal creates a narrative tension that constitutes the figure's special charm.

The design follows in the tradition of the great Meissen modeling art of the 18th century and draws on the imaginative designs of artists such as Johann Joachim Kaendler, who frequently depicted amorettes in unusual, humorous scenes. This results in small, lively snapshots full of expression and character.

The meticulous hand-painting beautifully highlights the figure's fine details and underscores its colorful, decorative effect. With its original depiction, the "Amorette Girl with Monkey" ranks among the exceptional and collectible figures of Meissen porcelain art.
