In 1912, the time of this painting, Wouters had been staying in Paris, where he discovered the colours of Cézanne and Matisse, Monet's landscapes, and Renoir's women. His own palette became brighter and more vibrant; its intensity and the turbulence of the surface recalling Fauvism. In the same year, he also travelled to Cologne and Düsseldorf where he admired the works of Van Gogh and German Expressionism.
