Scheurich produced the model in 1918 or 1919, as he exhibited it at the Spring exhibition of the Berlin Academy in 1919. The Meissen factory then purchased the model in August 1919 for 1,500 Mark and produced the first example at the beginning of 1920. In November 1919 Max Adolf Pfeiffer wrote to Professor Ernst Zimmermann, director of the Dresden porcelain collections: "... Anliegend sende ich Ihnen die Photos unseres neuesten Scheurichs ... Ist der 'Hirt' nicht ganz entzückend? ..." [Attached I am sending you photographs of the newest Scheurich ... Isn't the shepherd delightful?]
See Johannes Rafael, Paul Scheurich - Porzellane für die Meissener Manufaktur (1996), no. 15 for a full discussion of the model.
