EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Meissen Porcelain figurine, titled "Laundryman (image 2 of 2)" and created around 1748, showcases the remarkable collaboration between three renowned artists of the 18th century: Edme Bouchardon, Johann Joachim Kändler, and the Meissen Porcelain Factory. Bouchardon, a French sculptor, designed the figure's form and pose, while Kändler, a German sculptor, executed the piece at the prestigious Meissen Porcelain Factory in Dresden, Germany. The Laundryman figurine is a captivating example of Rococo art, characterized by its intricate details, vibrant colors, and ornate designs. The figure is depicted in a humble yet dignified pose, wearing traditional 18th-century attire and carrying a basket of freshly laundered clothes. The porcelain with enamel details adds an extra layer of elegance and sophistication to the piece. This figurine is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Europe during the 1740s. It is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The Laundryman figurine is not only a stunning work of art but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and occupations of the 18th century. This figurine is a reminder of the enduring legacy of the artists and the Meissen Porcelain Factory, whose works continue to be celebrated for their beauty and historical significance.
