Figure of a seated lion c. 1752 - 1757

Wilhelm Caspar Wegely's "Figure of a seated lion" (c. 1752-1757) is a detailed porcelain sculpture of a lion in a seated position, with one paw extended forward. The piece, measuring 11.3 cm in height, 15 cm in width, and 8.5 cm in depth, showcases Wegely's skill in capturing the animal's anatomy and expression. The lion's mane, fur, and facial features are realistically depicted, adding a sense of life to the sculpture. This piece is a fine example of Wegely's work in porcelain sculpture and is considered a significant contribution to the artistic output of the 18th century.
