Only two other examples of this figure would appear to be recorded; one figure, formerly in the von Pannwitz Collection is illustrated by Otto von Falke, Die Kunstsammlung von Pannwitz, Munich, 1925, pl. 71, no. 403 and was subsequently sold (with an associated figure of a gallant) in an anonymous sale, Sotheby's, 14 March 1967, lot 18. The other example (paired with a flautist), was formerly in the Emma Budge Collection, which was sold by Lepke, Berlin in September 1937, lot 981 and subsequently in the Ernesto Blohm Collection, sold in these Rooms on 10 April 1989, lot 73.

See Ernst Kramer, Fuldaer Porzellan in hessischen Sammlungen, 1979, pl. 3 for a group of musicians from the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen, Kassel with a similar seated figure of a mandolin player.
