About this motif
Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, shaped baroque Dresden like no other ruler. The Zwinger, the Frauenkirche and many palaces in the surrounding area were built under his reign.
Sommer's miniature shows the "Golden Rider", the gilded equestrian statue of the ruler on the Neustädter Markt, with a rearing horse on a stone pedestal. Image about 5 x 5 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
