See B. Beaucamp-Markowsky, Frankenthaler Porzellan, vol. 1 (Die Plastik), no. 304, for a discussion of the model and the attribution to Peter Anton von Verschaffelt, and a similarly decorated example in the Reiss-Engelhorn Museums, Mannheim. The author notes (p. 557) a record of two large figures of Venus that were fired on 19 June 1774 in an experimental firing using a new porcelain paste. The figure of Venus bathing is also mentioned in the price list of 1777.
