An axes can only belong to one figure at a time. And I also don't think I
have ever seen anyone try and transfer an axes from one figure to another.
You *might* have luck with inset locators from axes_grid:

Hi,
I have a previously draw plot that I want to place as an inset in
another figure. I've tried with passing the previously drawn axes as
the `axes` parameter to the `add_axes` method of the figure, and also
tried using the `set_axes` method of the new axes, without success: I
get the new inset
