Inscribed to the German dermatologist Alwin Scharlau: "Der helle Mond | Glänzt auf den klaren Wogen | Die weisse Wolke | Kehrt heim zum grünen Felsen [...]".

Court painter to the Romanian royal family from 1876 and a co-founder of the Berlin Secession, Hitz was influenced by Symbolism and Impressionism, her work mainly consisting of portraits of girls and women, her membership in the "Verein Berliner Künstlerinnen und Kunstfreundinnen" securing her several prominent commissions.

A few small ink spots. Self-addressed by the collector on the reverse. The Mecklenburg physician Scharlau (b. 1888) assembled a collection of artists' autographs by personal application.
