Catalogue Note
Ce modèle est à rapprocher des flambeaux qui apparaissent sur un dessin aquarellé de Dugourc, daté de 1790, où il est également indiqué que Gouthière les a réalisés (reproduit ci-contre ; cf. H. Ottomeyer, P. Proschel et al., Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, p. 286-287, fig. 4.15.3 et fig. 4.15.6).
