Morreau's work fought against gendered notions of identity, particularly in her re-imaginings of mythological and biblical themes. This work belongs to the 1986 sequence exploring the myth of Psyche and Eros, exploring themes of identity, desire and memory from a feminist perspective. In her 'Guardian' obituary, fellow artist and curator Catherine Elwes described Jacqueline Morreau’s work as ‘seething with humanity – women, men, mythical beings and often her own children. Rendered in swift strokes of pen and wash, these figures were both fragile and substantial, floating in water, fabric or space, always in the process of coming into being.’
