The work was created during the artist's initial eighteen-month stay on the island of Tahiti during a period of his opus which has been described as "exuberant".[2]
The painting was purchased in a private sale in 2008 by the Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev. The oligarch obtained it for 54 million euros (then $85 million). Then in 2017 he sustained an amore than sixty million dollar loss on his investment when he sold it at auction for $25 million US.[3]
