Venus and Paris

Two statuettes: Venus and Paris. Venus, standing on clouds, at her feet the sleeping cupid, behind her a pair of doves. She holds the golden apple in the left. Her gown pink with golden pattern. Paris, resting on his shepherd's staff, with yellow, purple robe. Beside him a black-brown spotted ram, at his feet the shepherd's flute. A finger of his right hand is missing. Triangular plinths. Both on gold-stamped posts. Models by Friedrich Elias Meyer. Scepter brands. Of the posts 8.5 cm each
