Note du spécialiste

Kändler modeled a group of figures based on a series of engravings by Le Hay which were published in Paris in 1714 under the title Receuil des cents estampes représentant les différentes Nations du Levant. The series was ordered by Monsieur le Comte Charles de Ferriol, French Ambassador to 'The Sublime Port'.
