There is only the most superficial resemblance between this and the one attributed to Lodovico Cigoli (e.g. Coll. von Bloch, Vienna illustrated in Planiscig ''Piccoli Bronzi'', pl. CCXXVI, no. 383, or in the V&A there is a large version close to Von Bloch's). The prototype of the model attrib. to Cigoli is a wax statuette mentioned in Baldinucci's 'Life of Cigoli''.
