These works on paper by Alfred Kubin have remained until this day in the family of a man who was not only a collector, but also a patron and friend of the artist. Maximilian Morgenstern was a successful Jewish textile merchant who had a factory in Silesia. He lived in Vienna and is believed to have met the artist around 1910. Morgenstern soon became a frequent correspondent and began to accumulate what was probably the most significant collection of Kubin's works assembled during the artist's lifetime. Morgenstern is believed to have acquired several of his pictures as repayments of debts and as marks of gratitude as well as through direct purchase.
