Cream-colored blanc de chine figurine of a group of four human and two animal figures: the tallest figures, the male dressed in Dutch style clothes including tricorn hat with crossed leg and the female dressed in Chinese costume, both holding drinking vessels; they are flanked by a smaller male figure and a smaller female figure (probably servants) whose dress corresponds to that of their larger figures; a dog sits in front of the males while a monkey sits before the females; a Chinese table with flower pot separates the man and woman while a stool is placed between the dog and monkey; the back of the seat on which the adults sit bears swirls; the front of the platform on which they stand was roughened to resemble stone.
