See Carl Albiker, Die Meissner Porzellantiere, Berlin, 1935, Tafel XXVIII, Abb. 105 for another example of this model and Abb. 103 for its pendent, a sparrow hawk with mouse. These two, the example of the pendant sold Christie's New York, 24 May 2001, lot 421, and the present example are all painted with the same distinctive feather pattern.
