This group is one of Kändler's most popular models. It may have been inspired by the engraving 'Le baiser donné' by Pierre Filloeul, after the painting by Jean-Baptiste Pater, or by François Boucher's 'L'Ecole des Maris'. See the example formerly in the von Pannwitz Collection, illustrated by Erika Pauls-Eisenbeiss, German Porcelain of the 18th Century, London, 1972, Vol. I, pp. 202-203 and Meredith Chilton, Harlequin Unmasked, The Commedia dell'Arte and Porcelain Sculpture Singapore, 2001, p. 300, no. 83 for the example in the Gardiner Museum, Toronto.
