The artist told Frank McEwen in a letter of May 1951 that this picture was painted in Madrid in 1915. Cecilia de Madrazo, a young Spaniard, is the girl with the hat; the other figure is the artist herself, and the dog is her dog, bought from an English sailor at Malaga. Marie Laurencin was staying in Madrid with the Madrazos at the time. As she had married the German painter Otto von Wätjen in 1914, she and her husband were obliged to spend the war years in neutral Spain.
