Provenance: The current vendor purchased the painting from a private collection in France, he was told that the family originally bought the painting in Belfast in the 1960's, after meeting Dillon and becoming friends in Italy and it had remained in their house ever since the 1960's.

Clowns, Pierrot and harlequin figures are common in Dillon's work, some have suggested they represent the artist himself. They often feature expansive and colourful landscapes in the background, such as in the present evocative and Surrealist scene.
