专家说明

The reference to Gide on the work's reverse is likely in connection with the author's 1907 short story Le retour de l'enfant prodigue, based on the biblical tale. Interestingly, the short story was adapted for the stage and performed in Paris. Seeing that Dexel created stage sets for Gide (W. Dexel & W. Vitt, W. Dexel & W. Vitt, Fine Days at Dexel’s: The Visitors’ Book; Walter Dexel’s Centenary, Cologne, Galerie Stolz,1990), it is very plausible that this work was intended as a preparatory study for Gide's play.
