The subject of this piece, Lola Melea, better known as Lola de Valence, was the star of the Camprubi dance troupe, which appeared at the Hippodrome Theater in Paris. Manet's friend, Zacharie Astruc, composed a song about her and Manet made a printed portrait of her for the cover.
This painting of Lola de Valence was done in Manet's studio, and Charles Baudelaire wrote a four-lined poem, comparing Lola's charm to that of a black and rose-colored jewel.
