Pedestal with the figure of a devil

The federally owned work is a pedestal in the shape of a coat of arms cartouche, on which lies horizontally a small devil with outstretched legs, whose arms are missing. The comparatively large plinth serves to elevate the reclining figure. The plinth was probably made in the 20th century in the Baroque style. It was subsequently painted. While this work is of inferior quality, the figure of the devil is more interestingly executed. The pedestal and figure were obviously joined together, although they did not originally belong together. Due to the poorly differentiated workmanship, it is not a unique piece, but was produced in series.
