From National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo:
This work was painted while Gauguin lived in Dieppe on the coast of the English Channel. Exhibited at the 8th Impressionist Exhibition of 1886, the work with its composition based on a horizontal band and its simplified figures and its thick outlines was critical for Gauguin as he distanced himself from Impressionism.
