The painting is also known as “The Portrait of Wally”. Neuzil was a lover and model of the artist. They met in 1911, lived together for several years in Vienna, and then in the Czech Republic. In 1915, they broke up, and Schiele married Edith Harms, a girl from a wealthy family. Despite this, before parting, he offered Wally to meet him once in a year and spend holidays together Neulengbach. The woman could not forgive the betrayal and immediately refused.
