Context: This portrait of the Uraguayan poet Jules Supervielle (1884-1960) was executed while he was in Paris on one of his regular trips. In a letter to the Art Institute, the artist explained:"The work of this poet does not interest me very much; it is just by chance that I was induced to do his portrait, and this undertaking was not motivated by my having been particularly attracted by his work. However, I have to mention that his physical appearance (he is a tall, lean, stooping devil, whose head--tottering constantly--with the expression of a camel) seemed to lend itself to a portrait which might serve my intentions."
