It was an initial study for the group of Polyphemus, Acis and Galatea at the centre of the right panel of The Gates of Hell.[1] Several bronze studies of Polyphemus' torso survive, but there is no known monumental version of the complete group.[2]
A bronze cast of the work is now in the Museo Soumaya.
