Forced to leave Paris because of the First World War, Bulgarian-born Pascin emigrated to the United States in 1914. He then toured the South and went to Cuba. There, he dedicated himself to street scenes of Havana, which he published in his Caribbean Sketchbook , as seen in this painting. Here he renders the picturesque setting of a street lined with houses and lush vegetation in vivid colors.
