Though dated 1919 in L'Amour de l'Art, 1921, p.143, the usual date given for this work is 1920. However, as the Galerie Druet exhibition opened on 19 January 1920, and it was reproduced in the catalogue, most if not all of the painting was probably done the previous year.
Dunoyer de Segonzac's early still-life paintings tend to have a 'kitchen table' character.
