    (best viewed by Google Chrome, with Google Translate added to chrome://extensions, which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to more info about this painting (more may be added once its museum responds to my inquiry).

    both have info about this artist (again, if his askart.com bio is truncated, it can be read for free on Fridays), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. First work by him used here.
