...can justifiably be considered to rank as one of the most expressive in Hundertwasser's graphic oeuvre as well as one of his most impressive achievements...The portrait, fascinating and moving alike, is of a rare beauty.
Günter Dietz...increased the number of color separations to twenty-nine and he introduced, in addition to metal imprints, two phosphorescent colors to enable the portrait's eyes and mouth to glisten in the dark.
...a timeless epitome of longing and love, of immortality among all things mortal.
