The original plaster was presented at the Salon in 1889, on a commission by the city of Reims in 1887.[1] Dubois donated it in 1902 to the Musée Paul-Dubois-Alfred Boucher in Nogent-sur-Seine,[2] now an annex of the Musée Camille Claudel.[3] An earlier plaster version is at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen.[4]

There are four casts of the sculpture in public settings:[5]
