The artist painted this synthesized and colorful portrait in Berlin, soon after the beginning of the First World War. The painting reflects the horrors of those times. Here Hartley united Cubism, with its desire to decompose the world into its component parts and add them to a new picture, and German Expressionism, with its and desire not to spare the feelings of the audience.
