These bronze groups are later copies of models conceived originally for reproduction in biscuit de Sèvres by Simon-Louis Boizot, which he exhibited in the Salon of 1786. He obviously drew his inspiration for the pieces from the earlier models of the same subject by Gaspard Marsy and Francois Giradon, which were erected in the garden at Versailles to decorate the Parterre d'Eau. A similar pair sold Treasures of France, Christie's, New York, 24 October 2012, lot 262 ($31,250).
