    I brought these 2 statues. They are about 17.5" tall. The man has a name at the bottom. Also they both have the markings underneath the base, which is in the 3rd image. Any clue to what they are or who made them and what they would be worth?

    He came with the lady. She doesn't have a name on her like the gentleman.

    So they are meant to be together & she must be Maria, the love interest.

    From wiki:
    Setting: 17th-century Heidelbergand Säkkingen, after the Thirty Years War. The trumpeter Werner loves Maria, the daughter of the Baron, but her father and mother want her to marry the cowardly Damian. Werner proves himself a hero and is opportunely discovered to be of noble birth, so all ends happily.

    There's no way to know unless you can find another pair that have sold in the last few years. Worth is only what someone is willing to pay today, not an absolute number. Now is probably not a good time to sell such things, but you have all the information you need to do a good Internet search.
