Delacroix accompanied the Comte de Mornay to Morocco and made an important series of watercolors during and after that journey. In 1833 he made an oil painting of the comte's apartment on the rue de Verneuil, Paris whose interior was decorated with fabric to resemble a blue and white striped tent. In 1873 the painting was exhibited as part of the collection John W. Wilson, at La Galerie du Cercle Artisque et Litterare, du Bruxelles and this etching created to illustrated a related catalogue.
