This bronze is based on the signed original marble by Pierre Lepautre (d. 1744) completed for the gardens at Marly in 1716, and now subsequently moved to the Tuilleries in 1718 (illus. F. Souchal, French Sculptors of the 17th and 18th Centurys: The Reign of Louis XIV, London, 1981, vol. II, p. 377, no. 9). Interestingly, a reduction of this group is depicted in the background of the portrait of Lepautre by Le Gros (Musée Canavalet, Paris).
