Serge Grandjean, Les tabatières du musée du Louvre, Paris 1981, p. 249, no. 361, illustrates a micromosaic plaque with the same subject on a box by Vachette and explains that this scene is after a mosaic discovered in the Villa Hadriana, now at the Capitolean Museum, Rome, which became a most popular subject in the early 19th Century, one version having belonged to the Empress Josephine at the Malmaison.
