In Daniel de Monfreid's collection from 1894, after Gauguin gave it to Monfreid's mistress and future second wife Annette Bewlfis for posing for him for the painting The Young Christian Girl
Until 1951 in the collection Mme Huc de Monfreid, Agnes de Monfreid (daughter of second marriage of Monfreid, married the physician Huc in 1917 (?) and died in 1968
The head is certainly a portrait of Gauguin's vahine Teha'amana during his first visit to Tahiti. The only other certain portrait of Teha'amana is Merahi metua no Tehamana, although many identifications have been made amongst his other work of the period (Danielsson pp. 118, 126). The figure of the standing nude inside the mask is of Eve, a favourite theme of Gauguin's and suggesting the paradise Gauguin had found with Teha'amana. Gauguin, however, later doubted Teha'amana's fidelity and Stuckey remarks the Eve figure might also represent the fantasies of a temptress, the green eyes perhaps signifying jealousy (Stuckey p. 274).
