In 1884 Hodler met the seamstress Augustine Dupin (1852-1909), with whom and her mother he shared a simple apartment for several years. According to Brüschweiler, she is pregnant here with their son Hector (cf. Inv. 953). Her striking face appears in many paintings (cf. Ferdinand Hodler (exh.-cat. Zurich/Berlin, Nationalgalerie/Paris, Musée du Petit Palais 1983), pp. 70 f., 73).
