What the image shows
A porcelain cup with a painted scene featuring two figures in a garden setting.
Generated by LinkedCulture from the photograph alone, without the museum’s catalogue text (Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), and not yet reviewed by a person. It describes the picture, not the object’s history, and it is not part of the museum’s record.
From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
In an effort to rejuvenate its style of decoration, the Meissen factory acquired a large group of French engravings about 1740. During the next decade, figural decorations in the style of Antoine Watteau and his followers became a typical mode of decoration on Meissen pporcelain.
