A Frankenthal mythological group of Pluto and Diana, circa 1767Modelled by Franz Conrad Linck and Carl Gottlieb Lück with Pluto wearing elaborate silvered armour and a plumed helmet, handing a crown to Diana wearing draperies embellished with gilt floral sprays, a hound seated at her feet, a pedestal with a fire in a gilt vessel between them, a young man wearing draperies at the back reaching for the vessel, the grassy base applied with leaves and foliage and moulded with gilt-edged scrollwork, 22.8cm high, crowned CT monogram in underglaze-blue, incised R and Z (minor restoration)注脚In an 1899 exhibition of Frankenthal Porcelain in Mannheim, Emil Heuser described the group as "Beauty and Wealth" and referred to a model listed in the former records as no. 83, "Pluto krönt Diana am Altar" [Pluto crowns Diana at the altar]; quoted by Beaucamp-Markowsky, Frankenthaler Porzellan, vol. I (2008), p. 434. The Mannheim price lists of 1777 mention a group with the title "Die Vermählung von Mars und Venus" [the marriage of Mars and Venus], which would match, except for the addition of the dog that points to the female figure being Diana and not Venus. Beaucamp-Markowsky suggests that the factory may have offered two versions of the model, one with Venus and one with Diana. See B. Beaucamp-Markowsky (2008), no. 241, for full details and another example of the model.
