Hundertwasser's comment on the work
It was bitter cold, but I wanted to paint with numb fingers - without gloves - until dusk. The opera melody "La donna è mobile" kept going through my head, I don't know why. But this aria has seemed to me to have a connection to this painting ever since. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, pp. 93-94)
