• Rare motif: one of only four known portrait painter variations, one of which is in the most important Spitzweg collection, the Schäfer Collection, Schweinfurt.
• Unique presentation: the only portrait-format version makes the yawning model"s face visible.
• As is the case with his famous “Armer Poet”, Spitzweg formulates an ironic commentary on artistic creation
