拍品专文

In exchange for perpetual youth, Endymion was sentenced by Jupiter to sleep forever. Diana, the moon goddess, fell in love with this handsome slumberer and visited him nightly. See K. Butler, Meissner Porzellanplatik des 18. Jahrhunderts die Sammlung die Ermitage, Leningrad, 1977, pl. 296 for an example of this model in the Hermitage.
