Doig (born 1959) exhibited two paintings from his recent "Bather" theme at the Vienna Succession in 2019, one of which is the basis for this print. The images are a homage to the American modernist painter, Marsden Hartley (1877-1943), though Doig has utilized a photograph of Robert Mitchum on a beach in Trinidad (where the artist currently lives and works). Mitchum is nearly unrecognizable in Doig's representation, a dark moonlit sea and a nude, kneeling woman to his right adding an air of mystery to the scene.
