In the Ernst Barlach Haus in Hamburg there is the model of the work executed in plaster in 1919 (slightly more than half the size, with dimension lines scratched in by the artist for transfer to the wooden sculpture), after which bronze casts were made (cf. Elmar Jansen (ed.): Ernst Barlach (Ausst.-Kat. Berlin, Altes Museum, 1981), at no. 47). A preliminary drawing from 1915 is in the Graphic Arts Collection.
