Fabian de la Rosa was Director of the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts from 1927-37. Referred to by art historians as a 'master of genre' for his depiction of landscapes and quotidian scenes, he trained under Agustin Saez at the Escuela de Bellas Artes, as well as Lorenzo Guerrero and Miguel Zaragoza. De la Rosa also trained in Paris, and later undertook a European tour, exhibiting his work at the Ateneo de Madrid in 1928. This rare surviving work, which is signed and dated lower right, is also inscribed with a dedication on the lower left. It shares its provenance with Juan Luna y Novicio's A Farm House.
