This porcelain figurine, “Venus and Mercury”, was created by Wilhelm Caspar Wegely, a prominent German sculptor, between 1752 and 1757. The sculpture depicts the Roman god Mercury, often associated with communication and trade, dressed in a winged helmet and holding a satchel filled with letters. He stands with one foot atop a pile of colorful bags, symbolizing his role as a messenger. The figurine is a fine example of the Rococo style, popular in the 18th century for its delicate curves, pastel hues, and playful subject matter.
