Dillon often returned to Roundstone in Connemara after his first visit there with Campbell and Macintyre in 1939. Around 1950 he was staying in a friend's cottage on the isle of Inishlackan, off Roundstone, when Phil Rafferty, whom Dillon had met in London during the war, came to visit. (see Snoddy, pp.137-139, 549). This painting is thought to date to that time.
