By the artist, signed "Fidus" on the reverse at a later date, dated, and inscribed with the following handwritten text:
" 'Der Künstler bei den Akten - doch leider selten gemalten!' Rechts die 'Frühmesse' um deren Urbild in Weimar mit anderen aus noch größerm testamentarischen Rückerhalt ich noch mich abmühe und sorge. Oben die Galerie vor der die große 'Ausgießung' aufragte."
[" 'The artist among the files - but unfortunately rarely painted ones!' To the right, the 'Early Mass,' the original of which in Weimar, along with others from an even larger testamentary bequest, I am still struggling and worrying about. Above, the gallery in front of which the large 'Outpouring' stood."]
