According to Ronald Pickvance, "Many of Gauguin's early portraits were of his wife Mette and their five children. This small sketch shows his only daughter, Aline, born on Christmas Day 1877 and named after his mother. She was his favourite child; he wrote the Cahier pour Aline during his first stay in Tahiti and her death, in January 1897, as a result of pneumonia, deeply shocked him" (op. cit.).
