During these years, Gauguin often stayed with Pissarro in Pontoise; there he also met Cézanne in 1881. The present painting reveals his involvement with these two painters, and with Courbet. The painting is mentioned in a letter from Gauguin to Pissarro dated November 9, 1882 (see Victor Merlhès (ed.): Correspondance de Paul Gauguin, Paris 1984, no. 29, pp. 35 f., 370).
