<p>The artist wrote (30 December 1957) that the picture was painted while he was staying at Laugharne Castle as the guest of Richard Hughes, the author, who had rented the house for twenty years. The artist was not certain of the exact date of the painting, but thought it was done in the spring of 1937 after his return from Mexico or in the following year.</p>
