Scheurich began work on the large group of Europa and the Bull by 1930 at the latest, though his attention was diverted by other projects and he only delivered the model to Meissen in March 1932 for which he was paid RM 3,200. It may only have been produced in porcelain from 1934, when the first sale is recorded. By 1940, only three examples were with dealers (Johannes Rafael, Paul Scheurich 1883-1945 Porzellane für die Meissener Manufaktur, Meissener Manuskripte, Sonderband VIII, 1995, no. 45).
Another example was in the collection of Prof. J. Rafael, sold in these rooms, 14 April 2022, lot 104.
