专家说明

For other models of 'La Nourrice' see H. Ottomeyer & P. Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, Vol. I, p. 381, fig. 5.15.27. The design was created by the bronzier Croutelle in 1807. See also the Duesberg collection in Mons (catalogue Musée François Duesberg, p. 59); another example -- also lacking the baby -- is in the Spanish royal collection. See J. Ramon Colon de Carvajal, Catalogo de Relojes del Patrimonio Nacional, Madrid, 1987, p 119.
