The painting is reported in the literature as 'missing'. It is one of the author's early works, produced when Frinta was still attending the Prague Academy, where his professors included Vratislav Nechleba and Max Švabinský. The painting carries clear indications of Frinta's liking for Neoclassicism and plain line drawing technique, which accompanied him in all his later work, although it was more focused on typography and print. In the art dealing business, Emanuel Frinta is a rare and high quality commodity.
