Italian Comedy Figure: Mezetin

Fürstenberg Porcelain Factory

Cleveland Museum of Art

The figurine depicts a male comedy character with a slender build. He wears a blue and white striped shirt and shorts with a white ruffled collar, white stockings, and red shoes. A flowing light green and purple garment drapes over his left shoulder and arm. His hair is styled in a short, curled updo with red and white stripes. The figurine's right arm is bent at the elbow, with the hand raised to his head, while his left arm extends outward. The base of the figurine is white and irregularly shaped. The background is a gradient of dark gray to light gray. The overall style of the figurine suggests it is a representation of a comedic character, likely from the Italian Commedia dell'Arte.
