The artist is also known as: Ida Bagus Poegoeg (Pugug), Ida Bagus Pegoeg, and Ida Bagus Poegig. He was a pupil of Ida Bagus Nyoman Geria, who can be acclaimed as the first artist working in a style we now recognise as the style of the Sanur group of painters. He was also influenced by Ida Bagus Nyoman Klingking (better known as Ida Bagus Nyoman Rai) and Ida Nagus Soenia, who was also his spiritual teacher. Like Klingking he is associated with the 'household' of Theo Meier. When he became priest pedanda Gede Simpar of Ketewel, he moved away from Sanur and stopped working as an artist. Bateson and Mead collected sixteen works by the artist. The artist was a member of the Pita Maha artists' association.
Inscribed on the reverse by Bateson: "Neuhaus calls him Ida Bagus Poegig", and in Balinese, possibly by Kaler, with the artist's name and the date of purchase.
