In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the Royal Beauvais Manufactory produced two distinct series of Ovid's Metamorphoses, distinguished by the size of the figures depicted. One with larger figures which cost 6,000 livres and the other with smaller figures, to which this tapestry belongs, which cost 2,200 livres.
A tapestry from the same series depicting Atalanta and Hippomène with identical borders was sold anonymously, Ader, Picard, Tajan, Paris, 14 June 1983, lot 215 (B. Jestaz, The Beauvais Manufactory in 1690, Acts of the Tapestry Symposium, San Francisco, 1974).
