Großen Kunstausstellung in Hannover, in: Die Kunst, vol. 33 (= Die Kunst f. Alle, 31. Jg.), 1915/16, p. 364 “The porcelain objects are from Oppler's own collection, which he began assembling during his stay in London. He liked to insert them into his interiors as props: the Delft vase with a lid can thus be found in the self-portrait, for example (cat. no. G-42; see also G-54 and G-60), and the bowl on a base also appears in the picture 'Vertieft' (cat. no. G-53)” (Jochen Bruns, in: Ernst Oppler (1867-1929). Leben und Werk, CD-ROM, Köln 1997, G-61).
