Begun in 1905 and completed early in the following year, the picture shows the same model in two different poses. According to a note in the card-index compiled by C.H. Collins Baker (deposited at the British Museum, Department of Prints and Drawings) a Miss Bennett sat for this painting. The sofa and background are taken from the artist's studio.
A study, 26×31 in., for this painting belonged in 1927 to Barbizon House, into whose possession it returned September 1945 from the collection of H. M. Hepworth.
