The same year that the world-famous statue of Bavaria on Theresienhöhe in Munich was officially inaugurated, its porcelain sister, only 20 centimetres tall, left the kiln of the Nymphenburg master workshops. Ludwig Michael von Schwanthaler was responsible for both designs. He was one of the masters of Classicist sculpture in southern Germany. He deliberately dressed the secular patron of Bavaria in Germanic-style clothing, namely a simple draping robe and bearskin. The raised wreath of oak leaves in her left hand is her gift to honourable individuals.
