Neu derived these figures from the Grosse Theaterfiguren published in Augsburg in 1729 with engravings by Johann Balthasar Probst after the water-colours by Johann Jacob Schübler. See H. Morley-Fletcher, Pflueger Collection Catalogue (London 1993), Vol. I, pp. 206-207 for a similar pair of figures.
