After Johann Heinrich von Dannecker 19th century, a patinated bronze

raised on an ebonised plinth base, 20cm wide, 13 cm deep, 17cm high, Ariadne is draped across a panther alluding to her relationship with the god Dionysus, as panthers are one of the god's symbolic attributes, traditionally tasked with pulling his chariot. Despite reclining on a dangerous predator, her demeanour is relaxed, her open stance reflecting her love for the feral god of ecstasy, following her brutal abandonment by Theseus. The original sculpture is currently in the collection of the Liebieghaus, Frankfurt (Inv. No 1569).
