The present oil is one of nine such examples that Spencer produced whilst on a painting expedition through what was then Yugoslavia in 1922. Spencer travelled with four Carline siblings, including Hilda who he would later marry, and a Carline cousin May Piggott. Richard Carline later recalled that the partial reason for selecting this part of the world for their trip was Spencer's wish to return to the region where he had carried out his war service.

Percyval Tudor-Hart (1873-1954) was an artist and colour theorist. Sydney, Richard and Hilda Carline all studied with Tudor-Hart and were influenced by his teaching.
