О скульптуре
Словами музея — на английском
The figure of Minerva is a substantial and sublimely modelled piece of ceramic sculpture from the best period of Meissen. White figures for the dessert table were an innovation at the Meissen porcelain factory of the 1740s, replacing earlier figures made of sugar or wax. They were produced for a relatively short period, as polychrome figures became more popular and large table centrepieces went out of fashion during the late 1750s. White porcelain figures are now extremely rare.

The figure was modelled by Meissen's chief modeller, J.J. Kändler early in 1747, probably as part of a large table centrepiece but is was also produced as an individual statuette. A few versions are known, decorated with painted enamels in bright colours. Only one other white version of the Minerva has survived. These other versions show that the figure originally had a large plume on top of the helmet. The plume has been broken off our version and the helmet has been restored to conceal the damage.
