Scheurich first created the model in 1919 and was influenced by characters from Richard Strauß' opera "Der Rosenkavalier", which was first performed in 1911 in Dresden. He also created a series of lithographs from "Der Rosenkavalier", which were published by Gurlitt in Berlin in 1920. The frontispiece clearly depicts the lady from the porcelain group as the Marschallin with a putto beside her. See Johannes Rafael, Paul Scheurich - Porzellane für die Meissener Manufaktur (1996), no. 14, for a full discussion of the model.
