This type of scenes, with a gallant and hedonistic theme, cheerful and colourful, worked with a precious and descriptive workmanship, were frequent during the second half of the 19th century, within the context of historicism. They belong to the genre known as "de casacones" in Spain and "tableautin" in France, characterised by works inspired by an idealised past, often from the 17th and 18th centuries, usually in small or medium format and intended for an eminently bourgeois clientele. In Europe, portraiture became the leading genre of painting in the 19th century as a result of the new social structures that were established in the Western world during that century, embodying the ultimate expression of the transformation in the taste and mentality of the new clientele that emerged among the nobility and the wealthy gentry, who were to take the reins of history in this period. While official circles gave precedence to other artistic genres, such as history painting, and the incipient collectors encouraged the profusion of genre paintings, portraiture was in great demand for paintings intended for the more private sphere, as a reflection of the value of the individual in the new society. This genre embodies the permanent presence of the image of its protagonists, to be enjoyed in the privacy of a studio, in the everyday warmth of a family cabinet or presiding over the main rooms of the house.
