The cast was a copy of a console representing a female head from the 14th-century Gothic fountain, the so-called Schöner Brunnen, Nuremberg. The cast formed part of the gift made in 1907 by Elsa Göschel from Nuremberg, who married the Hungarian Gábor Durkó and moved to Budapest. The cast was made by Elsa Göschel's father, Johann, who was stone carver and cast maker in Nuremberg. The artwork was transferred from the Museum of Fine Arts to the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (then Royal Joseph University) in 1923 as a deposit. Probably lost during World War II, whereabouts of the artwork are unknown.
