In 1899, Gauguin's mistress, Pahura, gave birth to a son, who gave the artist a new lease on life. After months of inaction due to poverty and ill health, Gauguin began to paint again, rapidly using up the canvas he possessed, while writing satirical articles and creating woodcuts. Upon receiving more canvas from France, he set to work with renewed vigor. Gauguin probably painted this still life on rough burlap in August when he was out of canvas.
