In a letter to Lewis Hind the artist wrote (5 August 1924): ‘You may care to know that the mountains are those of the South Tyrol, and that the picture is painted in tempera - real tempera. The colours being prepared by myself.’ A study for N01927 is reproduced in Clive Holland, Tyrol and its People, 1909, facing p.54, as ‘View in the Tyrol Alps’.
