Boucher and his studio painted several replicas of this subject, including one in the Swedish National Museum in Stockholm and another, said to be the primary, autograph version, which is a promised gift from Stuart and Lynda Resnick to the Los Angeles County Museum. This is an image of the painting sold throughSotheby Parke Bernet in New York City on 2 December 1976, Lot 135, which may be identical with the Resnick painting.
