Eberlein's work records from August 1743 'Einen Arlequin, so einen Vogel in der Hand, neben sich einen Vogelbauer und eine Katze zu Fuessen hat' [a Harlequin, a bird in his hand, next to him a birdcage and a cat at his feet]. The present example seems to be a slight variation without the cat on the base. A similar example in the Gardiner Museum, Toronto, is illustrated by M. Chilton, Harlequin Unmasked (2001), cat. no. 98.
