The pedestal was built from 1732-1734. The statue shows August as Roman Emperor, in Polish direction. Gilded early, its stature is gold plated since 1956.

A golden statue is the equestrian statue of the Saxon Elector and Polish King Augustus the Strong, which stands on the Neustädter Markt in Dresden between Augustusbrücke and the main street. It is considered the most famous monument in Dresden and one of the most important sculptures of the Dresden Baroque.
The statue shows August as a Roman Caesar with armor in a northeasterly direction to the Polish kingdom riding on a courbed Lipizzaner stallion. The prince is shown in survival size. The rider and horse were originally fire-gilded. Gold leaf was used for the 1956 restoration.
