A Meissen figure of Mars mid 18th century

A Meissen figure of Mars mid 18th century, modelled by J F Eberlein, standing atop of a square pedestal base moulded with musical instruments and victory motifs, his left hand resting on the top of his shield, his right on his hip, wearing a chainmail tunic with lion mask sleeves, some restoration, 29.3cm.

This is one of a series of Greek gods modelled by Eberlein between 1741 and 1747, ten of which were illustrated in L. Schnorr von Carolsfeld's catalogue of the von Klemperer collection, nos. 688-697.
