This sculpture was reproduced in Parian ware around 1880–1890 by (at least) three factories: Caspar Hennecke & Co., Silber & Fleming, and Robinson and Leadbeater. All three firms reproduced works by others; sometimes they record the source of their design (i.e. John Durham, Raffaele Monti, etc.) but many times they do not.
