A MEISSEN FIGURE OF GANYMEDE SECOND HALF 19TH CENTURY

modeled wearing pink drapery astride an eagle representative of Jupiter, all on a cloud-molded base, crossed swords marks in underglaze-blue and impressed numerals. Some restoration.

His upraised hand is restored; his right leg is broken and restored at the thigh and ankle; there is a small chip to the end of the drapery; his left toe is restored; and there is a firing tear in the cloud base running horizontally beneath the eagle's talons.
