Diese Darstellung der Psyche, in der sie behutsam einen Schmetterling (griech. ebenfalls «psyche») in ihren Händen hält, orientiert sich gestalterisch an der berühmten Skulpturengruppe «Amor und Psyche» von Antonio Canova (1757 - 1822), bei der sich Amor an seine Geliebte schmiegt. Eine Ausführung befindet sich im Pariser Louvre und eine weitere gehört zur Sammlung der Eremitage in St. Petersburg.
Provenienz: Privatsammlung Bodensee.
