Kraftvolle Darstellung des mythologischen Heros, entworfen von dem Bildhauer und Porzellanplastiker Emmerich Andresen (1843 - 1902), der in Hamburg bei Ernst Gottfried Vivié und an der Dresdner Kunstakademie unter Ernst Julius Hähnel studierte. Er wurde 1886 zum Vorsteher der Gestaltungsabteilung der Meissener Porzellanmanufaktur berufen. Der für Bronze- und Marmorskulpturen sowie Denkmäler in Dresden, Meißen und Tübingen bekannte Andresen schuf zahlreiche Skulpturen in der Manier von monumentalen Großplastiken. Neben allegorischen Figuren oder Soldatengruppen schuf Andresen einige, in Porzellan ausgeformte Heroen der griechischen bzw. germanischen Mythologie bzw. Sagenwelt.
