So, are you specifically wanting the same axes object in two figures? If
so, as Paul said, it is technically possible (using the method that Eric
mentioned), but that mode is currently unsupported and we can not guarantee
that things will work as expected. Matplotlib assumes that an axes object
has a single parent, and breaking that assumption can cause issues down the
line.
However, if you don't intend to have the same axes appear twice, then the
question becomes why do you need to create the figure after the axes?
