This painting was possibly included in the exhibition titled Paintings by Berkeley Williams, Jr. held at Young's, January 14-25, 1930.

A Richmond native, Williams studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He continued his studies in France, where he studied in the atelier of Boris Grigoriev and was even mentored by Pablo Picasso. In 1930, Williams showed thirty of his paintings in Richmond - including still-lives and landscapes painted in Southern France. One-man shows of his work were mounted in New York City at Montross Gallery and Loederer-Arkman Galleries throughout the 1930s. Two of his paintings of Cagnes, France were illustrated in the Rotogravure Picture Section of the New York Times on March 2, 1930.
