- ↑ The painting is out of focus overall. The painting does not come from Liszt's original holdings, but was added in 1956. The subject of the picture goes back to the Consolations piano pieces from around 1849/50. The inspiration for the title probably came from the collection of poems of the same name by Charles-Augustin Sainte-Beuve from 1830. It bears the inv. [Stamp] 125/1956 . A detail in the left background of the picture could be understood as grotto-like and point to the legend that the Sphinx grotto in the park on the Ilm was Liszt's favorite place to stay. But that's not what is meant here!
