Nienke Voorhuis

Very fine sculpture of a woman sitting on a panther after Johan Heinrich von Dannecker (Germany, 1758 – 1841).

The base is iron. The sculpture is made of bronzed metal (white metal). 

Size: 28 x 16 x 28 cm (l x w x h).
Dating: first half of 20 century. 
In good condition with signs of use. 

The sculpture depicts Ariadne who is carried on the back of a panther in a wedding procession. Presumably she is on her way to meet Dionysus for the wedding ceremony. This composition is based on the neoclassical masterpiece sculpted by Johann Heinrich Dannecker (born 1758, died in 1841). Ariadne is depicted naked, except the crown of grape leaves that adorns her head, as a symbol of her relationship with the god of wine. This particular work was created in the years after the death of Dannecker, when this scene was pretty popular.

In good condition with signs of use. 

Packaged with care and shipped by registered mail.

In good, general condition with signs of age-related wear and use
