This work should be considered in conjunction with other well-known Picassos of the same year, such as Young Girl Sitting in a Red Armchair and Nude on a Black Divan. At this time Picasso, his fame and wealth comfortably established, had excluded unpleasantness from his life; yet he still found a source of happiness outside his marriage in the company of Marie-Therese, who bore him a daughter, Maia, and whose youthful serenity and harmonious blonde beauty inspired him to paint syntheses of arabesques, oriental delicacy, mural decoration, planes and colours in which his appealing brand of cubism penetrates the graphic style of the "full-face and profile".
