Based on the engraving "Habit de Pierrot" by François Joullain, after Jean-Antoine Watteau, for Riccoboni's Histoire du Théâtre Italien, published in 1728. The model is listed in Reinicke's work notes in July, 1744: "Einen Pierot, von gleicher Größe, zur Italienischen Comödie, in Thon bossirt" [1 Pierrot, of the same size, for the Italian Comedy, repaired in clay]. See Meredith Chilton, Harlequin Unmasked, 2001, p. 212, cat. 114.
