Modelled by Kaendler in June 1774 as part of the "Great Russian Order" intended for the decoration of a cabinet in the Pavilion near the Bobsleigh Hills in the park of Oranienbaum Palace. According to Kaendler's work reports, the group was to symbolise the hope that the Czarina would have a ling life; see U. Pietsch, Meissen for the Czars (2004), cat. no. 174 and pp. 103-125, for a discussion of the gift to Catherine the Great.
