The woman's head is a portrait of Max Pechstein's first wife Lotte. They met in Georg Kolbe's (1877 - 1947) sculptor studio in Berlin in the winter of 1908 while she was his model. In the spring of 1911 they married and Lotte Kaprolat (1893 - 1965) remained Pechstein's most favourited model until 1920.
