Grant painted this large work at the end of 1913 and put it on exhibition in January 1914, when it was bought by his friend, the art critic Roger Fry. The source of the imagery was a small Persian miniature of the same subject, reproduced in Clive Bell’s seminal book, Art, published in 1914. Grant, Fry and Bell were all part of the Bloomsbury Group, amongst which the arts of diverse cultures and the art of decoration were studied and esteemed.
