Schyll was best known for his membership of the southern Swedish modernist Group ‘De tolv’ (the Twelve) which contributed to the Skåne breakthrough of modernism between 1924 and 1934. Several members of the group had been studying under André Lhote in Paris in 1912. A collection of the 'De tolv' works can be found at the Malmö Art Gallery. In 1928, Schyl was instrumental in forming the Artist’s group and society ‘Aura’. Schyl’s works are held in the collections of several museums and art collections, including the Swedish National Museum, the Malmö Museum, Lund University’s collections, and the museums of Helsingborg and Tomelilla.
This was painted at the height of his modernist period in 1933 whilst he was a member of 'The Twelve' and 'Aura'.
