The model is after an engraving of a drawing by Boucher. In fact, two engravings depicting the subject matter exist, one by Boucher himself from 1735, the other by Jean Daullé, which is very similar to the Sèvres model.
Other examples of the model are in the Blanche M. Harnan Ceramic Collection of the Seattle Art Museum and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, illustrated in Falconet à Sèvres ou l'art de plaire, exhibition catalogue (2002), no. 50. Another example was sold in these rooms, 18 Jun 2014, lot 166.
