Höfische Feste im Barock und Rokoko waren repräsentative Gesamtkunstwerke. Sie dauerten Tage, Wochen oder Monate. Maskenball, Oper, Jagd, Feuerwerk und Illumination gehörten zum abwechslungsreichen Amüsement des Hofstaats - ebenso wie die Commedia dell¿Arte, ursprünglich eine Form des italienischen Volkstheaters, das auf Masken und Figuren mit festgelegten Charakteren basierte. Aus der Faszination für jene Schauspielertypen heraus, griff Johann Joachim Kaendler die Commedia dell¿Arte zu Beginn der 1770er-Jahre thematisch auf und schuf diese zwölf Figuren erstmals in Meissener Porzellan. Ihre theatralischen Gesten und Körperhaltungen, ausdrucksvolle Mimik und farbenfrohen Kostüme mit enganliegenden Beinkleidern entsprachen vor allem Kaendlers Interesse an bewegten Figuren. Wie damals üblich, dienten u.a. Kupferstiche von Jean-Antoine Watteau, Jacques Callot sowie Einflüsse des aufkommenden Klassizismus als seine Vorlagen.
