Barbeau states that this canvas seems to have been Krieghoff’s first venture in a new direction, as a test of his progress under museum influence. While still in France, he had Louise, his wife, pose in a pretty Italian costume, “a red bodice nicely moulding her bust and waist, with plaited white chemisette, apron and a fine headdress, deep blue and red.” Barbeau points out that the identification as Louise is his.
