According to Maison, "this work has very close affinities with the composition of Les deux médecins et la Mort in the collection of the late Dr. Oskar Reinhart, Winterthur: the two figures in the watercolor are drawn in reverse, but their attitudes are very near identical with those of the figures in the present drawing".¹
