EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Meissen Porcelain figurine, titled "Laundryman" (image 1 of 2), dates back to the 1740s and is a fine example of the Rococo era's artistic sensibilities. Created in collaboration between renowned French sculptor Edme Bouchardon and the renowned Meissen Porcelain Factory's chief modeler Johann Joachim Kändler, this sculpture showcases the harmonious blend of European artistic traditions. The Laundryman figure stands proudly, dressed in the attire of the time, with a basket of freshly washed clothes slung over one shoulder and a cloth in hand, ready to wring out the excess water. The intricate details of the figure's clothing, from the folds of the shirt to the texture of the fabric, are expertly rendered in porcelain with enamel. The Laundryman figure is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Meissen Porcelain Factory during the 18th century. The figurine's vibrant colors and lifelike features are a hallmark of the Rococo era, which emphasized the importance of beauty, grace, and elegance. This Laundryman figure is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) extensive collection of European art. The figure's historical significance and artistic merit make it a valuable addition to the museum's holdings and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the 18th century.
