Born in Marseilles, Monticelli spent the years 1847–1849 and 1856–1870 in Paris. There he was deeply influenced by the colours of Delacroix and the Rococo revival compositions of Diaz de la Peña. This characteristic illusion d'optique dates from the second half of the 1860s. Such scenes became very popular with British and American collectors. Monticelli's rich colour and expressionist brushwork was highly influential on van Gogh. Gwendoline Davies purchased this work in 1913.
