cabriole not cabriolet
A cabriolet is a light 2-wheeled one-horse carriage (or a convertable), You want to search on cabriole.

[That's
"cabriole"; a cabriolet is a vehicle with a folding top. The root is a French word meaning a leap, or caper. . .]
I don't have a source for what you seek, I'm afraid.

There isn't a specific dimension
You can make them as long or short, fat or skinny as you want.

My thoughts
about the cabriole leg, over time:
1) Definitely NOT Modern !
2) Seems to have been produced in a surprising variety of forms and variations
3) Difficult to make
4) Perhaps the most biologically-suggestive shape in all of the history of furniture design
5) Any diligent designer might successfully draw a cabriole leg, paying attention to overall composition, balance between parts of the whole, and strict attention to the "fairing" of curves, both positive and negative
