- The plate was published by the Gesellschaft für vervielfältigende Kunst in 1892. Stuck created numerous paintings with similar subject matter, which are closely related to this print. The closest version is in the Bayerischen Staatsgemäldesammlungen (Pinakothek) in Munich, painted in 1889. For more information, see Heinrich Voss: 'Franz von Stuck 1863-1928, Werkkatalog der Gemälde', 1973, p. 99 and 259, and 'FvS und die Photographie' ed. Birgit Jooss, Munich 1996 (for photographs used in making the paintings).
