Leilão Bidspirit | Sultana riding on Elephant Meissen

Sultana riding on Elephant Meissen - An enchanting sculpture by the exceptional artist Johann Joachim Kaendler. The figure ”Persian Woman on Elephant” was created in 1750—a time when visions of the Orient were filled with fairytale-like associations. It is therefore not surprising that the rider's attire was inspired by a series of engravings by Ferriol. Hand-painted with intricate floral décor and gold accents, Kaendler created a masterful work of art. The rider's heel and a pom-pom have been glued; otherwise, the piece is in beautiful condition. Original price: €13,000. Dimensions: approx. L:27 W:10.5 H: 26.5
