Hundertwasser lived in 1949/1950 as a guest of the Dumage family in St. Mandé near Paris, in a building belonging the former hunting pavilion of the Comtesse Castiglione.
He painted the mural together with his friend René Brô on a brick wall on the second floor.
When the house was demolished in 1964, the fresco was dismantled and shipped to the USA.
