Following her marriage to the architect Delissa Joseph, F.R.I.B.A. (1859–1927), Lily Delissa Joseph painted interiors at Birchington, Kent, where the couple had a summer house, North Sea Lodge. Delissa Joseph built two of her brother Solomon's studios including one at Birchington in Kent and it is not clear at which house this painting was observed. In 1963 at a historical exhibition of the Women's International Art Club, a a painting entitled Lunchtime, Birchington was lent by Mrs Ethel Soloman [sic]. Mrs Ethel Solomon, Chair of Ben Uri (1943-66) also presented the current painting to the Ben Uri Collection and it is not clear whether these are two separate paintings or whether the titles have been conflated or confused.
