Notes

This work could be a preparatory study for L'Après-midi à Naples or Le Grog au vin, 1866–67 (587-TA), which is lost. Rewald (1996, p. 193) noted that the "watercolor FWN 3004-53a-TA [sic] [FWN 1812] connected with this small picture may, by its date of execution, have been closer to the lost canvas of 1867 (L'Après-midi à Naples or Le Grog au vin, 1866–67 (587-TA))." See FWN 1832-TA and FWN2240  for related drawings.

Venturi (1936) described the colors in the painting as: "Rideau bleu, lit blanc et bleu ciel; à droite mur jaune; corps de l'homme, brun; corps de la femme, blanc et bleu ciel; robe de la servante, verte."
