About the Item

Splendide sculpture en porcelaine polychrome représentant l'enlèvement d'Europe. Cette œuvre s'inspire du mythe classique dans lequel le dieu olympien Zeus se transforme en taureau pour kidnapper la princesse Europe. La figure d'Europe est représentée comme une jeune femme élégamment vêtue, avec des sandales et les cheveux mi-remontés, qui chevauche le taureau blanc tacheté de brun, qui la regarde avec une expression contente. Cette sculpture, créée avec une grande habileté, est capable d'enrichir avec élégance et valeur n'importe quel environnement dans lequel elle est placée. Fabrication viennoise de la fin du 18ème siècle. Dimensions: H x W x D 19 x 19 x 12 cm
