Csók spent a great deal of time on this painting, but in Paris
the hoped-for appreciation eluded him: "In Paris, the corner of the
studio was not the triumph I had hoped for", he wrote in his autobiography.
"Although the press appreciated its qualities, I did not receive
the Gold Medal I had been striving for" (Autobiography, 163).
