Miteinander verbundene Gruppe von drei geflügelten Engelsköpfen
Lindenholz, geschnitzt. Bildhauerisch virtuos ausgeführte Rokoko-Skulptur mit kompakt gestalteter Gruppe von eng aufeinander bezogenen Engelsköpfen, deren Lebendigkeit nicht nur durch die Individualität der einzelnen Köpfe, sondern auch die unterschiedlichen Blickrichtungen, wirkungsvoll zum Ausdruck gebracht wird.
