In 1955, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant drove through France and onwards to Asolo, a mountainous village in norther Italy, where the present work was painted. They rented a house full of character and charm; partly built into the ancient walls of the town with old wooden beams and solid walls. Upstairs, was a large room with three windows, which served as a studio during their stay. Bell found the historic town a breath of fresh air. In a letter to her daughter, Angelica Garnett she commented ‘Of course the light is so amazing, everything is colour and definite and exciting.’
