TLF: "[At Port di Ronco, on Lake Maggiore, we rented a sailboat.] This sailboat with two of his occupants, Ernst [Egeler] and Fritz [Ertl], and the third figure at the helm of the owner, became the theme of a painting in the fall, from a hasty pencil sketch I made while sailing. Instead of the Lagio Maggiore; however, the scene is placed on the Mediterranean whence the picture derives the name of Mediterranean. My friend and well-wisher Ernst, source of information relative to “sublimation” à la Freud, had hoped that his beloved mountains would inspire me to vary my eternal marines, but this did not work, after a not very serious try."
