Delaplanche was a member of a group of young sculptors which at the time remained a little withdrawn. In 1878, when the work was created, it was acquired by the Salon of 1878, then transferred the same year to the Fabre Museum in Montpellier. From 1889 onwards, it was taken to the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris. The work was exhibited at the Louvre Museum in 1926 before being transferred in 1986 to the Musée d'Orsay, where it currently resides.
