In particular, the somewhat square face, mournful expression and shortened body type recalls the work of the sculptor Damián Forment, who moved from Valencia to Saragossa in 1509.

Haskell and N. Penny, Taste and the Antique - The Lure of Classical Sculpture 1500-1900, London, 1981, pp.178-179, figs. 91 and 92.Footnotes: Note: The original marble versions of these bronzes were discovered during excavations in 1736 by Monsignor Furietti at Hadrian's Villa. Their decorative qualities offered copyists great possibilities for production in small-scale bronzes. Thus the latter part of the 18th century and the start of the 19th saw them produced in large numbers, both as miniature bronzes and life-size marble and plaster versions.The desirability of the originals was so great that in 1763 Pope Benedict XIV offered Furietti a Cardinal's hat for them, while in 1765 the English offered vast sums before they were finally secured by the Capitoline Museum, Rome, where they are currently housed (Haskell and Penny, loc.cit.).
