We can compare the right part of this composition with Bon Boullogne's painting "Neptune and Amphitrite" (where Neptune is sitting), commissioned for the king's bedroom in Rambouillet around 1706-1707 and now preserved in the Tours museum, and the drawing preserved at the Art Institute of Chicago (where Neptune is standing in the pose similar to our painting), see catalogue of the exhibition "Bon Boullogne (1649-1717), un chef d'école au Grand Siècle", Dijon, Magnin museum, 5 December 2014 - 4 March 2015, p.97.
