The present lot was modeled after Portrait of Tsarina Elisabeth Petrovna on horse by Georg Christoph Grooth (1716-1749), currently held in the Tretyakov State Gallery in Moscow.

See the von Pannwitz example, sold by Helbing, Munich, on October 24-25, 1905, lot 375, pl. LXXXVI, which was described as a portrait of Augustus III. Another example from the Klemperer collection lacks the moorish attendant; see L. Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Porzellansammlung Gustav von Klemperer, Dresden, 1928, pl. 65, no. 614.

For a different version of this model, see Christie's, London, February 21, 2005, lot 103; for a later version, see Christie's, New York, April 9, 2008, lot 248.
