One of four plaster reliefs depicting scenes from classical mythology by, or attributed to, John Flaxman.

A plaster relief depicting three figures, two male on the left and a female on the right. A naked bearded man and a winged youth embrace, while a woman playing a tambourine looks over her shoulder at them. The series is attributed to John Flaxman on the basis of the similarity in style of the reliefs to the Covent Garden Theatre casts (NT 130072.2 and NT 130072.3). All four casts are displayed as a group in the Stone Court at Knole.
