The scene is partly taken from an engraving by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas after the painting "La Quatrième Fête Flamande" by David Teniers the Younger.
First introduced in 1753 in its original size, the model was named in honour of Dominique‑Jacques de Courteille, commissaire du roi from 1751 until his death in 1767. The second and third sizes followed in 1759. Whereas the earliest size was often sold individually prior to 1760, the smaller versions were more commonly issued in pairs or incorporated into garnitures (see Rosalind Savill, , Vol. I, 1988, p.44).
A pair of green-ground with Teniers scenes after the same source, including one with the exact same scene, is in the Wallace Collection, London, and illustrated in Rosalind Savill, , Vol. I, 1988, p.46-47. A pair of with similar decoration by Vielliard is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London ().
