I ended my last blog about Suzanne Valadon with her relationship with Pierre Puvis de Chavannes ended and she had moved back in with her mother.  That summer she had become pregnant and in December 1883 had given birth to a baby boy whom she named Maurice.   The following year, after she had got herself back in shape and had employed a nanny to look after her son, she went back to her old life of modelling for artists by day and revelling in  café-bar life at night…..

James Duncan, a wealthy sugar refiner, purchased the present work in 1883, making it the first Impressionist picture acquired by a Scottish collector.

Renoir’s Travels in 1881-82

The artist departed for a much-anticipated visit to Italy in mid-October 1881 and stayed for three months, stopping for extended periods of time in Venice, Rome, and Naples.

He studied the art of the Italian Renaissance, particularly the frescoes of Raphael in Rome, and he was also much interested by the wall paintings of Pompeii in the museum of Naples.

He was thinking about modifying his own style, and - by way of generating income and advancing his position with clients - he also planned to paint views of familiar sites that would be easy for his dealer Durand-Ruel to sell.
