This model was first modelled by Louis-Simon Boizot in 1789. See Émile Bourgeois and Geo. Lechevallier-Chevignard, Le Biscuit de Sèvres, p. 36, no. 478 for an illustrated example of this model.

Boizot (1743-1809), who had studied sculpture under Slodtz in Rome, was the chief sculptor at Sèvres from 1773-1800.
