"Felix Nylund-Llv och verk", Bengt von Bondsdorff, Föreningen Konstsamfundet, Helsinki 1990, equivalent sculpture illustrated on p.42.
The model for this sculpture was the "Copenhagen eccentric" Christensen, who daily stood outside a certain café in Copenhagen. According to Nylund he was not a beggar, but people walking by gave him money anyway.
