The theme of cooks at work or at rest is often found in Ribot's paintings of the early 1860s. He used his son, Germain Théodore, as a model. The artist's liking for dark colour and subjects from everyday life, set against dark, generalised backgrounds, was affected by his taste for seventeenth-century Spanish art.
