This figure is recorded in Kändler's Taxa as '1 Arlequin, so statt des HosenKnoppffs eine Tabatiere hat, und Schnupff Tabacc herausnimmt, in der linken Hand eine Brille hat'. See Meredith Chilton, op. cit. (2001), p. 190 for the Gardiner Museum example, and p. 299, cat. no. 81, where she lists other examples. For the Pauls-Eisenbeiss example, see I. Menzhausen, op. cit. (Basel, 1993), no. 129.
