Edmund Cotterell, a sculptor, took charge of design at Garrard's in 1833, where he created figure groups and other larger sculptural objects for production in silver and bronze.
A silver version of the present sculpture in the collection of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II is illustrated in A.G. Grimwade, The Queen's Silver – A Survey of Her Majesty's Personal Collection (1953).
An example in bronze of the same size as the present lot, but additionally mounted on a plinth inscribed with Cotterell's and Garrard's names, was sold at auction in England in 2008 (Dreweatt's, Antique Furniture, Works of Art, and Rugs, Newbury, 3 September 2008, lot 112).
