From December 1873 to September 1875 Marées lived intermittently in Florence, in the monastery of San Francesco di Paola near the Porta Romana, where he shared a studio and flat with the sculptor Adolf von Hildebrand (1847-1921) until their friendship broke off. At that time he created a series of four self-portraits, of which the Zurich version is probably the third. The others are in the Nationalgalerie Berlin, in a private collection in Hamburg and in the Kunstmuseum Basel. An increasing de-individualisation and typification of the person can be observed.
