Literature
White, Peter, 'Two distinct early Derby white groups of figures and some quandaries', ECC Trans, Vol.25, 2014, p.173, fig.18
White, Mary, Beasts at the Whites' House, Vol.1, 2020, p.4
The present model was copied from a 17th-century bronze fountain by Pietro Tacca realised for Cosimo II de' Medici and placed in the Loggia of the Mercato Nuovo, now in the Palazzo Mori. It was based on a Roman marble sculpture now in the Uffizi Galleries (inv. no.1914 n.63), in turn inspired by a Hellenistic bronze. It is an incredibly successful model, and Mary White notes its exceptional accuracy and liveliness while and the quality of the modelling is suggested as one reason this model may have endured to be later produced in colour by Peter White, , 2014, p.173.
The attribution of the modelling of some Derby 'Dry Edge' figures and animal models to Agostini Carlini is discussed by J V G Mallet, 'Agostini Carlini and Dry-Edge Derby', in , 2003, p.42. An entry in William Duesbury's London Account Book for 27 October 1752 reads 'I pr of Boors'. Another similar white model of a boar forming one of a pair was sold by Bonhams as part of the Brenda Dunning Collection on 22 June 2022, lot 476. See also the coloured pair sold at Christie's New York, 21 January 2003, lot 163.
