De Nittis had moved to France and become closely associated with the emerging Impressionist movement. The painting was displayed at the Salon of 1874 in Paris, the same year that De Nittis also took part in the First Impressionist Exhibition. Amongst the work's admirers was Edgar Degas who acquired an engraving based on it.[4]
