AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This fascinating biscuit porcelain statuette depicts Emperor Napoleon I riding his horse, dressed in the famous uniform and the bicorne hat. The figure is of remarkable artistic value and highly detailed, with particular attention to the clothing and the musculature of the horse.

The work is signed 'F. Zeh 1908' on the base, along with the model number 10065.

Felix Zeh was a prominent modeler at the renowned manufacture A. W. F. Kister from 1888 until his death in 1937, specializing in historical scenes and Rococo/Biedermeier figures. Much of the Napoleon figures produced by the factory are attributed to him (such as 'Napoleon fleeing from Russia').

The composition, featuring Napoleon, the horse, and elements on the ground such as a basket or a rolled cannon, suggests a depiction of a famous campaign or military retreat of the Emperor.

Markings and Inscriptions
Company: F. Zeh. 1908 (engraved on the front of the base)
