In a letter to Gustav Schiefler Kirchner mentioned this portrait and dated it to 1919. However, Nele van de Velde did not visit the artist in Frauenkirch near Davos before 1920. Kirchner presumably made the portrait on spirit duplicator copy paper around that time, it seems that it was not printed at the Graphische Anstalt W. Wassermann in Baselbefore 1923. Nele van de Velde (1897-1965) was the oldest daughter of the architect Henry van de Velde. She was a painter and met Kirchner in Kreuzlingen in 1918. Since then the two had been in a close artistic connection and friendship, which is reflected by the letters "Briefen an Nele" and the painting "Nele van de Velde" (G 514). Nele, in return, documented the friendship in a series of woodcuts with text "Ein Tag bei Kirchner auf der Staffelalp" (A day with Kirchner on the Staffelalp). [CB].
