Kaendler reworked his model of 1736 two years later as the moulds had become unuseable. It is listed in his work records of August 1738: "Dem Pantaleon Nebst seinem bey sich habenden Frauen Zimmer Verneuert und solches Groppgen zum abformen aufs Neue tüchtig gemacht, Weiln Vorige Forme nach öfftern gebrauch Wandelbar Worden." [Pantalone alongside his figure of a woman renewed and well-made new for moulding, because the old forms had become unstable after much use]. The model was reworked again in 1741 (see lot 28).
