In his memories of Wiesbaden Conrad Felixmüller wrote: "The painter Alois Erbach became a good friend in those days. This remarkably modest man was involved in self-torturing inspirations of the most contrasting manner [..] In 1920 he was our guest in Klotzsche for some weeks and my pictures were like a guideline for him. I painted him twice, first in Klotzsche - very flowing, without any problems. The photographer Renger-Patzsch from Hamburg soon bought the painting. The second was made in Wiesbaden: 'Doppelbildnis Erbach mit seiner Frau'" (quote after: Conrad Felixmüller. Die Dresdner Jahre 1913-1933, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Dusseldorf 1987, p. 68).
