This model is recorded in the 1734 Taxa as "1 Rittelweibgen oder Lerchengeyer, welches vorstellet in Lebensgrösse, wie es eine Lerche frisst, ruhet auf einem verziertem Postament." See C. Albiker, Die Meissner Porzellantiere, Berlin, 1935, Tafel XXVIII, Abb. 105 for another example of this model and Abb. 103 for its pendant, a sparrow hawk with mouse.
