Exclusive Collection Persian Woman on Elephant

Magical and full of enchantment, the lady appears atop her magnificent companion. A captivating sculpture by the exceptional artist Johann Joachim Kaendler. The figurine "Persian Woman on Elephant" was created in 1750, a time when the Orient was imagined through fairy-tale associations. It is therefore no surprise that the rider's garments were inspired by a series of copper engravings by Ferriol. Hand-painted with elaborate floral décor and gold embellishments, Kaendler created a masterful work of art. As part of the MEISSEN^® Exclusive Collection, it captures the imagination of all who behold it. This figurine is truly exclusive. Where might the finely hand-painted lady on her splendid elephant be headed? Perhaps this work of art is already on its way to you.
