Dornröschen (English: Sleeping Beauty) is a marble sculpture by Louis Sussmann-Hellborn, housed at Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, Germany.[1]
Description (translated) from the catalog:
Sleeping Beauty sits slumbering in the throne chair, decorated with fantastic Romanesque ornamentation, her arms resting on the armrests; her feet are covered by rampant roses that climb up the chair, and the fateful spindle lies on the floor - Inscribed L. Sussmann, Berlin. Carrara marble, life-size figure. Gift from the artist in 1888[2]
The features of the sculpture are apparently based on the Brothers Grimm version of the fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty. The sculpture was completed a few years prior to the premier of Sleeping Beauty Ballet.
