The panel of this painting was originally the cover of a wooden box of Havana cigars. According to Martin Dieterle, this was not an unusual practice for Corot as tropical wood supplied a perfect support and texture for an oil painting.

This painting has been examined and authenticated by Martin Dieterle.
