Earlier in 1880 the art collector Charles Ephrussi had commissioned Manet to paint A Bundle of Asapragus for 800 francs. On receiving the work he gave the artist 1000 francs instead and so Manet decided to paint a smaller second work now known as A Sprig of Asparagus. He sent this second work to Ephrussi with a note reading "There was one [sprig] missing from your bundle."[2]
