A related drawing, probably of Parisian authorship and executed circa 1715, is in the National Museum, Stockholm. It formed part of an album assembled by Daniel Crönstrom, while serving as secretary to the Swedish Ambassador to the court of Louis XIV, and shows a number of possible variants in form and sculpture for a similar chair. (M. Jarry, Le Siège Français, Fribourg, 1973, p. 78, fig. D23).
