Wilhelm Caspar Wegely's "Venus and Mercury" (c. 1752-1757) is a porcelain sculpture depicting the Roman goddess Venus and the Roman god Mercury, the messenger of the gods. Venus, dressed in a flowing gown, is shown with Mercury, a young winged god, with a scepter and winged sandals. The sculpture is richly decorated with floral designs and gold accents, characteristic of the Rococo style popular in 18th-century Europe.
