Meissen Monkey Orchestra Guitarist

One of the charming "Monkey Chapel" figures by Johann Joachim Kaendler is the "Guitarist". With this ensemble of 21 hand-painted collectible figures from 1753, Kaendler mischievously held up a mirror to courtly society. At that time, the monkey was a very popular motif in arts and crafts, so Kaendler also used it for these collectible figures. Created by traditional craftsmanship, lovingly handmade and colorfully hand-painted, each figurine is unique. Each monkey of the "Monkey Chapel" has its own unique character, so that each figure can be presented excellently even as a unique piece. This new edition of the "Monkey Chapel" is a reminder of Kaendler's special artistry.
