This charming figure group is entirely Rococo in style. It was modelled by Nicolas Gauron, who had trained in Tournai and then worked in Weesp for a few years. Gauron’s modelling must have been a great success: the quality of his works was higher than what had been achieved in Weesp until then. The two figures were later also produced as individual statuettes.
