专家说明

For examples of the first two figures see Émile Bourgeois and Georges Lechevallier-Chevignard, Le Biscuit de Sèvres (n.d.), figs. 369 and 307. Each figure forms part of a group of children modelled between 1764 and 1766. For a detailed discussion of the group, see Antoinette Faÿ-Hallé, Falconet à Sèvres ou l'art de plaire 1757-1766, Musée National de Céramique, Sèvres, 6th November 2001 - 4th February 2002 Exhibition Catalogue, p. 125, figs. 61b, 57, and 59 respectively.
