這件細膩動人的大理石浮雕，題材取自歐洲最經典的古典雕塑——現藏於羅馬卡比托利歐博物館（Capitoline Museum）的《丘比特與塞姬》。該作出自羅馬帝國時期，以一件同款已佚的公元前二至三世紀希臘雕塑為模本。《丘比特與塞姬》在十八世紀尤受傾慕，拿破崙更下令將之移送至巴黎中央藝術博物館（Musée Central des Arts）；當雕塑在1798年7月送抵博物館時，哄動一時。1815年，拿破崙政權破滅後，此雕塑被送返羅馬，收藏於羅馬卡比托利歐博物館。

舊時歐洲貴族子弟盛行壯遊（Grand Tour），即在成年之際漫遊歐洲各地以豐富個人閱歷及文化修養；《丘比特與塞姬》往往是英國壯遊浪子的理想典範之一，因此許多鄉郊大宅都放置了這個大理石雕像的複製品。英國旅行家約翰·貝爾（John Bell）形容它為「初次洴發的青春之美」；作家查爾斯·布爾尼（Charles Burney）則讚歎兩位主角彼此之間純真無垢的愛戀。本品顯然出自一位才華豐富的雕塑家之手，其位於羅馬的工作坊的作品亦以古典雕塑為模本。是次拍賣會呈獻兩件傑森的浮雕作品，其主題和風格之關連顯示兩者來源一致，乃諾森伯蘭公爵四世艾傑倫·佩西（Algernon Percy）在1850年代委託的創作。
