Walter Hugelshofer, 12 Reproduktionen nach Gemälden von Cuno Amiet aus dem Kalender für das Jahr 1963 der Schweizerischen Unfallversicherungs-Gesellschaft in Winterthur, 1963, p. 1

Franz Müller/Fiona Radlach, Cuno Amiet, Die Gemälde 1883-1919, 2014, no 1909.40, ill.

Despite being dated “99” by the artist, it seems that Amiet did so by mistake and that the work actually dates from 1909. This is the dating proposed in the SIK-ISEA online catalogue where Franz Müller, (no. 1909.40), notes that this work was probably part of a group of seven paintings which Amiet noted in his “Verkaufte Bilder” list as sold to the Kunstverein in Frankfurt.
