The work dates from the 1950s, when the author only drew because of his health problems. He was inspired by a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. Alén Diviš was a Czech painter and illustrator, a classmate of Marie Čermínová. In Paris, he socialized with Bohuslav Martinů, Josef Šíma, František Tichý, Toyen and Jan Zrzavy. In 1930, he tried unsuccessfully to be admitted to the Mánes Association of Visual Artists. In 1932 he visited North Africa and exhibited paintings from this trip in the Van Leer Gallery.
