拍品专文

Johann Joachim Kändler created models of this type for Augustus III, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland in 1741. Rainer Rückert illustrates a pair of lions in the Schneider Collection, Munich, which are very similar to the present lot and which he dates as circa 1751 due to the model numbers 1564 and 1515 (1), however, current scholarship supports a dating of 1741. Kändler’s work report for February-March 1741 records: Eine Löwin (a lioness)(2), and his Taxa for 1740-1744 records: 1 Löwe, mittelmässiger Grösse, liegend mit offenen Rachen, vor Ihre Konigl. Maj._4. Thlr.- [1 lion, medium size, recumbent with open jaws, for his Royal Majesty, 4 Thalers](3).
