Mit Darstellung eines nach links über Gestein und Baumstümpfen jagenden Pferdes, auf dem ein unbekleideter Jüngling gebunden liegt, dahinter zieht ein morscher Baumstamm mit seitlichen knorrigen Ästen hoch. Am felsigen Boden Hund und ein liegender Wolf. Die figürliche Szene geht auf den Inhalt eines literarischen werkes von Lord Byron zurück, 1817/18 entstanden, für die Oper behandelt und von dem Maler Horace Vernet (1789-1863) gemalt unter dem Titel "Mazeppa und die Wölfe". Die Figurengruppe dem Gemälde gegenüber in seitenverkehrter Richtung. Was darauf schließen lässt, dass der Schnitzer nach einer Stichvorlage gearbeitet hat. (12511025) (11)
Exceptionally rare and large ivory group
Overall height incl. ebonized base: 40 cm.
Length of base: 51 cm.

Erbach, 19th century.
This figural subject is based on a poem by Lord Byron published in 1817/18. It was also adapted for opera and painted by Horace Vernet (1789-1863) and titled “Mazeppa and the wolves”. The figural group is shown inverted in comparison to the painting, which suggests that the carving artist was working from an engraving.
