The present lot is illustrated in the book of Coade's etchings which correspond to those listed in the 1784 Descriptive Catalogue of Coade's Artificial Stone Manufactory, Section I, Statues, p.4, No.59, Tiger, £8/8/0d.
Alison Kelly, (loc.cit) discusses a Tiger and its Companion in Tehidy Park, Cornwall which has now disappeared. According to Mrs Coade in her Gallery handbook, the Tiger, sitting up like a cat, was modelled from life by John Bacon, the Coade Manufactory's principle modeller and designer. The model cost 8 guineas and sat about 3ft 6ins high.
