description
This magnificent figurine is a work of art, exclusive and hand-painted.
Who is four-legged in the morning, two-legged at noon and three-legged in the evening? According to a legend from Greek mythology, the Sphinx, half lion, half man, challenged travelers on their way to Thebes with this riddle and killed anyone who was unable to solve it.
Victor Michel Acier modeled the figure of the Sphinx for the first time in 1774 in a breathtaking sculpture, giving the terrifying legendary figure a lovely female face. A child sits innocently on her back, while a flower tendril and vessel with a bouquet of flowers emphasize the charming atmosphere of the sculpture. Hand-painted with great attention to detail, this sculptural work of art is an exclusive expression of the early classicist "Age of Sensitivity". The 22 cm high figure, hand-painted, is an impressive work of art from the MEISSEN® Exclusive Collection.
