Catalogue Note
Ce modèle est une variante très proche du dessin du bronzier Deverberie, daté de 1799 et conservé à la Bibliothèque Nationale, sur lequel la chasseresse est flanquée d'un palmier et d'un crocodile, remplacés ici par une panthère et une tortue (H.Ottomeyer et P.Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, t.I., p. 381).
