Estimate value
€ 1 800 – 2 200
Meissen, 18th/19th century
Porcelain. Bronze. Minor damage, restored, scythe missing. Height 42.5 cm.

Mythologische Figur des geflügelten Chronos mit blauem Lendentuch auf einem rundem, hochgezogenen Sockel in Gestalt eines Baumstammes mit farbigen Blüten und Blättern, stehend auf einer Rocaillen geschmückten Bronze-Plinthe, die fest mit dem Porzellan montiert ist. Chronos hält in seiner rechten Hand eine ovale Kartusche, geschmückt mit goldbemalten Rocaillen, als Trägerhalterung für eine Taschenuhr.

Vergleichbare Chronos-Figuren für Taschenuhren waren zur Zeit des Barock als Symbol der Vergänglichkeit beliebte Motive in der Porzellangestaltung. In der Meissener Porzellanmanufaktur entwarfen als eine der ersten Georg Fritzsche und Johann Gottlieb Kirchner ab etwa 1726 Chronos-Figuren. Auch während des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden Chronos-Figuren in Porzellan und Bronze gefertigt.
