Nay 49, l. u. num. 24/30, unter Passepartout und Glas gerahmt. - Nays Verlobter "war das letztendstandene 'Sylphenspiel' gewidmet, das sich völlig von den anderen Blättern des figuralen Typus unterschied: fast grün und violett angelegt, hatte es etwas Ätherisches. Man sah, der Künstler war glücklich, eine programmatische Serie mit einer sozusagen dionysischen Apotheose abgeschlossen zu haben." (E. W. Nay. Bilder und Dokumente, München 1980, S. 21) - Literatur: Die Entstehung des Blattes beim Steindrucker Jaeckel in Worpswede wird thematisiert in: E. W. Nay.
