The marble original of the present model was excavated in 1792 on Prince Borghese's property at Gabii, outside Rome, by Gavin Hamilton. It was purchased by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1807, and was displayed in the Louvre, Paris, where it remains today.

Pietrò Franchi worked in Carrara during the third quarter of the 19th century and specialised in creating marble copies both of famous contemporary statues and, as here, celebrated sculpture from Antiquity.
