The painting is signed and dated on the bottom left side: 20. Walter Kurau. Johann Walter-Kurau (also known as Jānis Valters or Johann Walter) is considered “the most mysterious top figure of Latvian art” (Eduards Kļaviņš, 1995) due to his hybrid personality caused by the education received from his Baltic German mother and bythe environment in which he grew up, more related to the German citizenship of Jelgava (in German Mitau).

At first he dedicated to genre painting but then he changed into a very elegant and modern Impressionism style characterized by superb subtle tonalities and refined harmonies. He was a very talented violinist and an important teacher (the famous American photographer Florence Henri...
