Louis-Charles-Hippolyte Buhot (1815-1865) was a pupil of David d'Angers, studying at the École des Beaux Arts. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1837 up to the year of his death, when he exhibited the original version of the present group. In creating his Hebe and Jupiter's Eagle, Buhot was employing a popular subject, which he transformed into an intimate and animated composition, further enlivened by the contrast of the smooth skin with the feathery wings, and in the case of the present cast, by the fine silvering and parcel gilding.
