Like The Shepherd with the Flute and The Shepherd with the Eagle, cast in bronze, the definitive version of this sculpture (which Gargalló titled Bucolica at the time of commissioning) was destined to be part of the ornamentation of the Plaza de Cataluña, of Barcelona, and the monumental stone materialization of Paris - and not Montjuich, which was planned - was initially installed there, although it would soon be moved (due to modifications to the initial planning project for the square) to the gardens of the Montjuich Park, where it still remains, in a much better state of conservation than a good part of its contemporaries in the Plaza de Cataluña, subject to heavy environmental contamination.
