Two drawings of the same technique by Deshays were in the Paignon Dijonval collection, M. Bnard, Cabinet de M. Paignon Dijonval, 1810, no. 3602. One was described as a 'Marche de bergers avec leurs troupeaux; une femme tenant un enfant est monte sur un cheval'.
Marc Sandoz in his Deshays catalogue mentions many compositions of such subjects, usually described, following Castiglione, as Caravane, M. Sandoz, Jean-Baptiste Deshays, 1729-1765, Paris, 1977.
Deshays was Boucher's favorite pupil and married his daughter, which explains that both artists have sometimes been confused.
