The present image, along with versions of the Scream and Eva Mudocci, was commissioned as part of an proposed edition celebrating the master works of the Norwegian Artist Edvard Munch. In preparation for the edition Warhol produced a number of unique variants of each image, however the series wasn't published as an edition, and the images exist only in the form of a handful of unique colour variants.
