These reliefs were commissioned by Stephen Courtauld and are listed in an unpublished Catalogue of Sculpture, Marble, Bronze, the Collection of V. and S.L. Courtauld. It is unlikely they were completed until 1922 as the previous year was one of the busiest of Jagger's career. The reliefs were installed in cupboard doors in his library at 47 Grosvenor Square in 1924 and later transferred to Eltham Palace.
