In their day, the American collectors Louisine (1855–1929) and H. O. Havemeyer (1847–1907) amassed one of the largest and most representative private collections of Courbets works. They acquired this painting, their first nude by Courbet, in early 1892, when their Tiffany-designed New York residence was nearing completion. The frame is attributed to Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933).

About Gustave Courbet
Jean Désiré Gustave Courbet (10 June 1819 – 31 December 1877) was a French painter who led the Realism movement in 19th-century French painting. Committed to painting only what he could see, he rejected academic convention and the Romanticism of the previous generation of visual artists.
