Longtemps attribué à Francesco da Sant’Agata ou à un atelier florentin de la fin XVIe siècle influencé par Cellini, ce modèle fut redonné par Maraike Bückling et Regina Seelig-Teuwen au corpus de Barthélémy Prieur. Le Metropolitan Museum of Art de New York, qui en conserve un exemplaire, le présente comme probablement Florentin du XVIe ou du XVIIe siècle (inv. 1982.60.99). Ce modèle de bronze semble avoir été très apprécié, le tableau flamand de la National Gallery représentant le cabinet d'un amateur avec une silhouette identique encadrée des Gladiateurs Borghèse et d'une Vénus au bain en témoigne (inv. NG1287).
Long attributed to Francesco da Sant'Agata or to a late 16th century Florentine workshop influenced by Cellini, this model was reassigned by Maraike Bückling and Regina Seelig-Teuwen to the corpus of Barthélémy Prieur. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which has a similar bronze, describes it as probably Florentine,16th or 17th century (inv. 1982.60.99). This bronze model seems to have been very popular: the National Gallery's Flemish painting of an amateur's cabinet represents an identical figure together with the Borghese gladiators and a Venus at the bath (inv. NG1287).
