Conceived by Christian Gottfried Juechtzer between August 1785 and January 1786, the group in biscuit takes up the iconography of a fresco found in the villa of Arianna during the excavations in Stabia, which began in 1749. The subject of the "venditrice di amorini ”Met with immediate success thanks to the numerous artists who reproduced it in their works, such as Jacques-Louis David and Joseph-Marie Vien. The work is one of the most interesting produced in Meissen in the period of direction of Count Camillo Marcolini (1774-1814), a great expert and admirer of classical antiquities. Few other examples are known in the world today, all preserved in decorative arts museums.
