The print is based on the painting of the same name (Catalogue Raisonné 663-5), created in 1988. The painting itself was based on a photograph Richter took of his then 11-year-old daughter, Bettina.

“And then there is the picture of the daughter [...], which also has to do with elevation, because it is so underpinned by the longing for culture, for the beauty of painting, which we no longer have, though, and hence – the turning away.” Interview with Babette Richter 2002
