This painting bears a strong realistic imprint as evidenced by Courbet's paintings. Edward Chappel was a member of the 'Als ik kan' movement founded in Antwerp in 1883. This painting is situated in the period of his return from his Parisian apprenticeship (1880-1881) and his artistic beginnings in Antwerp (1883-1885).
