Wilhelm Wartmann (1882-1970), director of the Kunsthaus Zürich from 1909 to 1950. The painting was commissioned by Alfred Rütschi at the Grand Hotel Dolder following Wartmann's first major Munch exhibition in 1922. Another followed in 1932. A smaller version found its way to the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen; two preparatory oil sketches exist in the Munch Museet in Oslo.
