I was able to find it on TinEye. here`s a link to a fairly high-res image:

It looks like it is actually based on an old master drawing or sculpture, but I don`t know what that would be.

So very weird. I was just watching that show online and said to myself..."Someone will ask about this artwork."

You are correct John it is based on Aphrodite and Adonis by Antonio Canova.
