It is a casting after a wooden model, today in the possession of the Edwin Scharff Museum in Neu-Ulm, from the same year. The bronze here was thus cast during Matare's lifetime. Here exists a photo of this bronze with inscription on the back by Matare. It was then sold from the estate to Wolfgang Werner in 1978. Before that, Sonja Matare had a second bronze cast made, which is now in the Museum Kurhaus Kleve.
