Der Bildhauer Rudolf Hölbe (1848 Lemgo - 1926 Dresden) studierte zwischen 1868 und 1870 an den Akademien in Leipzig und Dresden und war später Schüler bei Johannes Schilling. Er schuf öffentliche Denkmäler mit figürlicher Plastik in Bronze und Marmor, die mit Preisen ausgezeichnet wurden, u.a. am Dresdner Hoftheater und Albertinum. Seit 1886 präsentierte er historische und mythologische sowie Genrefiguren auf verschiedenen deutschen Ausstellungen. Zwischen 1897 und 1899 erwarb die Meissener Manufaktur mehrere Modelle, neben der Figur "Amor, die Nachtigallen fütternd" auch das Gegenstück der Psyche (Modell-Nr. N 196).
