Kändler, assisted by Eberlein, modelled a series of Parisian street- traders which pre-dated the Cris de Paris series and the two others made of London and St. Petersburg street-traders. The figures were modelled after the engravings by the Comte de Caylus after the original drawings by Edmé Bouchardon. Kändler followed the engravings closely and the figures still retain much of the feel of Bouchardon's original drawings, while bringing them to life in three-dimensions. For the engraving by the Comte de Caylus which this figure is based on, see Len and Yvonne Adams, ibid., London, 1987, p. 93.
