The Wildenstein Institute will include this painting in their forthcoming Marquet catalogue raisonn being prepared by Jean-Claude Martinet.

In 1920, Marquet traveled to Algeria for the first time in search of a different light and new scenery in which to paint. Spellbound by Northern Africa, Marquet revisited Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco continually discovering the breathtaking beauty of the people and countryside. Marquet and his new bride, Marcelle, sailed for Tunisia in February of 1923 and spent the following six months in the town of Sidi-Bou-Said. From this stay, Marquet brought back an important series of works, including the present painting. Marcelle once wrote of their Tunisian honeymoon, "It is a memory suspended in the sky, surrounded and streaked with light. The two of us in this blue and white landscape, perched on a cliff overlooking the sea."
