EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Figure of the Bagpiper" a masterpiece manufactured by Vincennes Factory and modelled by Pierre Blondeau between 1748-1752. Crafted from unglazed soft-paste biscuit porcelain, this stunning sculpture measures 22.9x13.4x8 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. What makes this figure truly remarkable is its resemblance to marble figurines due to the purity of its material. While a few glazed Vincennes porcelain figures exist, it was at an early stage that the royal factory embraced the production of these unglazed biscuit figures. The popularity of such pieces quickly spread throughout Europe, making them highly sought after. The bagpiper depicted in this artwork exudes both elegance and authenticity as he stands proudly donning traditional costume while playing his instrument with great skill. This 18th-century statuette captures not only the musician's talent but also his vibrant energy through intricate details and lifelike features. As part of The Norweb Collection, this French masterpiece holds immense historical significance and cultural value. Its presence serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of dance, music, and art across centuries.
