During his reign, Augustus the Strong commissioned the construction of many beautiful gardens, including those in Pillnitz and Dresden. During this time, Johann Joachim Kaendler designed the series 'Tuinierkinderen'. These charming images depict gardeners and wine growers working in the garden or harvesting grapes. He even depicted the festivities after a day's work, with some gardener children playing music and dancing. They all share a close bond with nature. To this day, the Tuinierkinderen of Meissen remain one of the most popular collections among collectors.
