Jean-François de Troy was first trained by his father, François de Troy (1645-1730). After spending seven years in Italy, he returned to Paris and became a member of the Académie Royale. De Troy rose to prominence as one of the leading artists serving the Parisian elite, celebrated for his history paintings. This painting was previously attributed to François Lemoyne and Charles-Antoine Coypel before being correctly identified as a work by de Troy, when published by Colin Bailey in 1992, who dates the painting to the mid-1720s (loc. cit.). The nude nymph, seen from behind, recurs in the river god in Pan and Syrinx (Cleveland Museum of Art, inv. no. 1973.212) and in one of the nymphs in Diana and her nymphs bathing (J. Paul Getty Museum, inv. no. 84.PA.44).
