Fantin-Latour specialised in portraits and flower pieces although, beginning in 1861, he also produced a series of paintings and lithographs on musical themes in an evocative style far removed from his carefully detailed paintings of still life. From the 1860s onwards, he painted studies of plums, of which this work of 1869 is one of the smallest and most informal.
