The French Surrealist painter Félix Labisse was born in the North of France, but spent much of his adult life between Paris and Belgium. Heavily influenced by the Belgian painter James Ensor, Labisse's Surrealist paintings often depict fantastical creatures. The present work reflects Labisse's love for the coastline as well as his interest in mythological female subjects.
