A superb large bronze after the original marble version in the Städtische Galerie-Liebighaus, Museum alter Plastik, Frankfurt. 26 x 30 x 12 inches, 140 lbs, signed Dannecker. One of the most celebrated German sculptors of the early 19th century, Dannecker produced many famous works including a beautiful Sappho in the Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart, and a famous bust of Schiller.
