Painted in 1944 after the artist had been invalided out of the Royal Navy. He writes in Leda and the Goose, 1954, p.174: ‘The remaining months of the war I spent in a furnished cottage in Somerset. Here after the three years in which it had been impossible for me to paint, I worked, I think during every hour of daylight.’ A companion picture, ‘The Bridle’, painted in 1943, is in the National Gallery of Canada and is reproduced in Leda and the Goose, facing p.45.
