As described by Gerstle Mack in his 1938 publication Toulouse-Lautrec, the work was executed in 1891 as a study for the cover of the medical journal founded by Dr. Cabanès. Cabanès rejected the drawing for being too macabre, however, the work was later published after Lautrec's death in the February 15, 1902 issue of the journal.
