The engraving by Laurent Cars after Boucher depicting a scene from Molière's comedy Le Sicilien ou l'Amour Peintre is the graphic source for this group. For a similar example in the Pauls-Eisenbeiss Collection, see Dr. Erika Pauls-Eisenbeiss, German Porcelain of the 18th Century (London, 1972), Vol. I, pp. 194-195, where other examples are also listed. For a variant of this model with a kneeling cavalier, see Melitta Kunze-Köllensperger, Collection Franz E. Burda (1997), no. 6, pp. 86-87. This group was first modelled by Kändler in April-June 1737, and as his Taxa record does not mention a pug, the inclusion of one in this group suggests that it could have been created after the foundation of the Mopsorden in
