The French copy, seen below, was achieved, after almost 25 years of work, by the sculptor Antoine Coysevox, visible since 1712 in the Château de Versailles, near Paris.
The UK marble copy was sculpted in 1767 by Joseph Nollekens (1737-1823), who went to Rome and may have seen the plaster copy kept at the French Academy there. The sculpture is located in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
In Germany, a bronze copy is in Berlin, Charlottenburg, cated by Christoph Heinrich Fischer in 1833.
