This figure of Jupiter relates to the design by Piamontini represented by a terracotta figure sold at the Casa d'aste Pitti (see note for lot 477, and Bellesi 2008 op. cit. fig. 17), which is a variation of the design for an andiron now attributed to Piamontini, with examples in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Wallace Collection (see Pratesi op. cit. no. 427).
