Before Sickert left for Venice in 1903 the artist became involved with Madame Villain, a divorced fishwife in Dieppe, who acted as both landlady and mistress to the artist. It was presumably from Villain that Sickert obtained the fish for this, and further still-life paintings of the period, including Dorades, Dieppe (circa 1902-3).
