Philippe Garel is one of the finest post-war French painters currently working, producing large canvases with elaborately textured backdrops and lushly realized figures. This work was previously called "Mother Earth" when it was hanging on the south wall of Toronto artist and critic Paul Duval's studio. It was there that it was first seen by journalist Sarah Thomson, who was so struck by the piece that she dreamt of using a ladder to peek through the studio windows to see her again. Thomson described it, painted in clay reds and earth tones, as "so warm it seemed to heat the room"
