This model varies slightly from the model by Giambologna, more commonly copied, with the horses's head more violently arched back towards the lion. It is close to the Antique marble, now in the Palazzo dei Conservatori, which, as Avery notes, Giambologna may have studied while staying in Rome with Susini (Avery, loc. cit.).
