    Sculpture in white augarten porcelain, depicting Commander Prince Eugène de Savoy in a baroque curly wig and in armor on horseback, holding the marshal's baton in his right hand, the horse executing the classic equestrian figure of the "Levade" and resting on an oval pedestal, as well as on a high, separate, original base, with views of the Belvedere Palace and a fleeing Turk in front of Vienna in relief, on the sides the coat of arms of the city of Vienna and the double-headed imperial eagle.

    PRINCE EUGÈNE DE SAVOYE-CARIGNAN (1663 - 1736): Born in France, grand-nephew of Cardinal Mazarin. Eugen's inability to pursue a promising career in the French army enabled him to enter the Austrian military service. As early as 1683, the young prince took part in the defense of Vienna during the Turkish siege. Soon after his first military actions, as well as his participation in several important battles against the Turks, he became a senior officer in the Austrian army. Prince Eugene's victory over the Turks at the Battle of Zenta (1697) represents both one of the most important turning points in European history and a glorious climax to Eugene's military career, as he was appointed Field Marshall, commander-in-chief of the Austrian army. Eugene was not only one of the most important generals in European history, but also an important politician as governor of the Habsburgs' Italian possessions, in his capacity as governor of Milan and also as governor of the Netherlands.
