Figure of the Bagpiper (Le Joueur de musette)

Vincennes Porcelain Factory

Cleveland Museum of Art

White porcelain sculpture of a young boy playing a bagpipe. The boy has curly hair and wears a jacket with buttons, a shirt with a collar, loose-fitting pants, and shoes with a low heel. He stands on his right leg, with the left bent behind him. The boy holds the bagpipe under his left arm and the blowpipe in both hands. He stands on a rectangular base with a seashell underneath his right foot and a bunch of grapes to the right. The background is dark gray, gradually lightening toward the bottom.
