COMPARATIVE LITERATURE:
U. Procacci, La Casa Buonarotti, Florence, 1965, pp. 199-200, no. 15.
K. Lankheit, Die Modellsammlung der Pozellanmanufaktur Doccia, Munich, 1982, pl. 141.
As noted by Charles Avery, this model is a refinement of an earlier composition that was manufactured by Pietro Tacca on the basis of both an Antique fragment and a wax model attributed to Giambologna which was done for its proposed restoration (See Scultura, loc. cit.). And the author of these refinements was the Florentine Giovanni Battista Foggini -- as evidenced by his surviving models and piece-molds acquired by the Marchese Ginori for use in his new factory at Doccia.
