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. Gruppe ca. 15,5 cm x 12,5 cm x 6 cm. Montiert auf einer mit rotem Samt beschlagenen Holzplatte in vergoldetem Holzrahmen. Angehängt das Sotheby's-Schildchen der Thurn und Taxis-Auktion von 1993.
Zu den stilistisch vergleichbaren Skulpturen zählen u. a. einzelne Engelsköpfe im Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, im Maximilian-Museum in Augsburg und im Bayerischen Nationalmuseum in München.
