“Presented in marble at the 1757 Salon, *The Nymph Descending to Bathe* – also known as *The Bather* – was commissioned by the financier Thiroux d’Epersenne. As with *Amour*, the success of the biscuit piece no doubt prompted Falconnet to propose a companion piece to this work, *The Bather Among the Reeds*, as early as 1762” in *La Manufacture des Lumières. Sculpture at Sèvres from Louis XIV to the Revolution”, Dijon, Faton, 2015, p. 143.
