In their day, the American collectors Louisine (1855–1929) and H. O. Havemeyer (1847–1907) amassed one of the largest and most representative private collections of Courbet's works. They acquired this painting, their first nude by Courbet, in early 1892, when their Tiffany-designed New York residence was nearing completion. The frame is attributed to Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933).
