Literatur:
Hans Ottomayer und Peter PröscheLänge: Vergoldete Bronzen München 1986. Zum Typus des Felssockels vergleiche Abb. 2.1.11 und 12, sowie 2.2.2, zur Darstellung der Figuren vergleiche Abb. 2.6.3 und 2.6.6.

Äußerst kraftvolle und ausdrucksstarke Arbeit eines Pariser Bronzegießers, von außergewöhnlicher Qualität. Die beiden Girandolen stellen den Höhepunkt des sogenannten "goût pittoresque" dar. Die Natur wird hier als bizarr übertriebenes Dekorationselement in die Inneneinrichtung integriert. Dazu kommt noch die Darstellung des Fremden, des Exotischen in Form der knienden Chinesen, die nun einer vermeintlich kultivierten Welt zu Diensten stehen
