The expatriate artist Alice Halicka was born in Krakow, Poland, to a wealthy Jewish family. She moved to Paris in 1912 and quickly became part of a wide circle of cubists. This work demonstrates her take on the still-life compositions favored by her cubist friends and her husband, the fellow Polish expatriate Louis Marcoussis. Halicka would move on from these painterly preoccupations to work in multiple media, creating whimsical collages, fabric designs, book illustrations, and ballet sets.
