    *The antique Arrotino marble featured on a drawing made by Martin Van Heemskerk in Rome in 1536, was acquired by Ferdinand de' Medici in 1578. In 1684, Foggini produced a marble copy after the Antique for Versailles, which was replaced in 1688 by a cast by the Keller brothers, forming a counterpart with a crouching Venus. A letter from de la Teulière, Director of the French Academy in Rome, testifies to the King's particular interest in the Arrotino and his desire to own a version of this famous antique marble. Thus, the inventory of Louis XIV's collection mentions, under no. 14, '...a figure of an agroupy man sharpening a cousteau, 14 inches high...'. Another example belongs to the collection of Auguste Le Fort in Dresden, purchased by Raymond Leplat in France, and a pair is in the Wallace Collection in London (inv.n°S189).
