For a related set of engravings by Georges-Leopold Hertel after Jacopo Amigoni of Earth, Air, Fire and Water, see the National Galleries Scotland, accession nos. P 3100.1-4.
A variation of the models of Water and Earth were in the Sammlung Hermann Emden, Hamburg, sold at Rudolph Lepke's Kunst-Auctionas-Haus, 3-7 November 1908, nos. 481 and 482. A very similar set modeled by Kändler, but representing The Four Seasons instead of The Elements, are in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence (Summer and Autumn) and in the Stiftung Preussische Schlösser und Gärten, Berlin-Brandenburg.
See U. Pietsch and C. Banz, Triumph of the Blue Swords: Meissen Porcelain for the Aristocracy and Bourgeoisie 1710-1815, Dresden, 2010, p. 350, cat. no. 415.
