Hercules and the Ceryneian Stag
Circa 1755
Soft-paste porcelain
Height: 8 ½ in. (21.6 cm.)
The figure, which appears to be unique, was based on an engraving by Bernard Picart (1663-1733) after an original by Louis Cheron.
The third labor of Hercules was to capture the Keryneian Hind, a deer belonging to Artemis, which had golden antlers and hooves of bronze.
