This painting takes its title from a ballet written in 1881–1882 by the French composer Edouard Lalo (1823–1892).

The slender storyline of the ballet, set on Corfu, tells of a slave girl passed between two wealthy playboys on the turn of a bet. The Moroccan melodies on which the ballet is based are reflected in the Arab-style clothing of the girl in the painting.
