Marble and Alabaster Group Sculpture of Ariadne over a Panther

About the Item

This is an alabaster group sculpture of the Cretan princess and daughter of the king Minos of Crete, Ariadne seated over her panther. Her left elbow is over the head of the panther and her body is reclined to the left while she is looking to the same side. Her hair is adorned with a vine leaves crown. She is naked and her long robe is covering half of the trunk of the panther. Both sculptures are attached to an octagonal long alabaster base that looks like pieces of tiles and then this one is secured to a marble rectangular base. In the Greek mythology, Ariadne was also the wife of Dionysus, the god of wine. This group sculpture is after the marble sculpture of Johann Heinrich Dannecker.
