Der italienische Bildhauer Pietro Balestri (Balestra), auch genannt Pietruccio, gehörte der Schule Berninis an. Nach langjähriger Tätigkeit für Königin Christina von Schweden, verschlug es ihn nach Dresden. Unter der Regentschaft von August dem Starken schuf er einige Marmorskulpturen nach antikem Vorbild, die zunächst im Garten des Japanischen Palais aufgestellt waren und später in den Großen Garten des barocken Dresdner Palais umgesetzt wurden. Die Mehrzahl der in Dresden geschaffenen Skulpturen Balestras gingen während des Siebenjährigen Krieges verloren. Maximilian Georg Rossmann (1861 Vohenstrauß/Oberpfalz - 1926 Amorbach/Unterfranken) schuf neben dieser Gruppe zudem die "Allegorie der Wachsamkeit" (Modell-Nr. O 169) zur Ausformung in Porzellan nach einem Modell von Lorenzo Mattielli.
