The central figure in Rauch's ensemble in the Arolsen church was carried out in Carrara marble, and many replicas were made. For example, the sculptor presented a statuette version to the royal couple as a silver wedding present. Another version, with a lotus blossom in the lowered left hand as a symbol of eternity, was produced by Rauch in 1855 for the tomb of his deceased brother, but finished up cast in bronze for his own tomb in the Dorotheeenstadt cemetery in Berlin.
