Imposante Ausformung eines Königsgeiers in naturalistischer Wiedergabe. August der Starke gab zu Beginn der 1730er Jahre für sein "Porzellanschloss" im Japanischen Palais in Dresden eine große Zahl an verschiedenen Tierplastiken in Auftrag. Johann Joachim Kaendler modellierte in den ersten Jahren seiner Tätigkeit einige, zum Teil lebensgroße Tierplastiken "mit geradezu psychologischem Interesse nicht nur am minutiös wiedergegebenen Äußeren des Tieres sondern vor allem auch an seiner charakteristischen Haltung und Ausdrucksweise (...)" (Zitat Rückert). In der kurfürstlichen Menagerie studierte und skizzierte er die Tiere in natura.
