Circle of Ignaz Gunther, south Germany 18th Century The reverse simply finished, the wood stained, on a later stepped square velvet covered plinth base, minor traces of woodworm, minor losses to the extremities 46cm. high See illustration NOTES Franz Ignaz Gunther (1725 - 1775) was the greatest sculptor in 18th-century Bavaria. In 1754 Gunther was appointed court sculptor to the Bavarian Electorate. The present figure shows the influence of Gunther in the treatment of the clothing and face. This can be seen when comparing to the figure of an Adoring Angel sculpted by Gunther in 1770, in the Liebighaus, Frankfurt.
