Another oil study of this theme by Otto Seitz, which is a lot smaller (33 x 65 cm), is in possession of the Neue Pinakothek in Munich. Boetticher mentions the work's presentation at the Kunstverein Munich in 1875, which is why it can be assumed that the work was made around 1874 (Boetticher, vol.2 (2), 1901, no. 5). The original painting is considered lost. [CB].
