Although offered from 1845, Poletti and Richarme estimate the number of lifetime épreuves of Jaguar dévorant un agouti to be no more than twenty. The model was listed as an esquisse for Jaguar dévorant un lièvre (see lots 223-4), dating from 1850. The model was edited posthumously by Brame.

Another cast of this model, formerly in the collection of Eduardo Guinle (d. 1941), was sold in these rooms, 25 April 2003, lot 129 ($3,345).
