Bomberg painted a series of portraits and self-portraits that fall into two groups: those painted in 1930-32 and those of 1937, painted after the artist's return from Spain.

'A remarkable series of self-portraits dates from 1937. For the first time Bomberg turned on himself the intensely personal and subjective approach to form developed in his landscapes. The paintings are a series of sombre imaginative self identifications culminating in the pair of pictures The Man (private collection) and The Woman (private collection) which anticipate the very last figure pictures he was to paint nearly twenty years later' (Exhibition catalogue, David Bomberg, London, The Tate Gallery, 1967, p. 33).
