阿姆丽塔·谢尔-吉尔是一位著名的匈牙利印度裔画家。她被称为“ 20世纪初期最伟大的先锋派女性艺术家之一”，也是现代印度艺术的“先锋”。
The painting was purchased by László and Rózsi Urbach directly from Sher-Gil in 1939. László was a Hungarian motorcycle and motorboating champion, photographer, and filmmaker. The couple had several friends who were writers and artists, one of whom was Sher-Gil. They spent a lot of time with the artist, her uncle Baktay, and her step-uncle Ernő Gottesmann.
1939年拉兹洛和罗西·乌巴赫直接从谢尔-吉尔那里购买了这幅画。拉兹洛是匈牙利摩托车和摩托艇比赛的冠军，摄影师和电影制片人。这对夫妻有好几个作家和艺术家朋友，其中之一就是谢尔-吉尔。他们和谢尔-吉尔，她的叔叔巴克泰和伯恩·戈特斯曼在一起度过了很多时间。
László and Rózsi Urbach purchased the painting as a memento of their excursions and friendship with Sher-Gil, and according to Rózsi, the artist considered the work her "farewell to Europe" (based on correspondence with the current owner in April 2019). The year Winter, Zebegény was painted, Sher-Gil moved to India never to return to Hungary, her place of birth and a country of much artistic inspiration. She died in India two years later.
拉兹洛和罗西·乌巴赫购买了这幅画，借以纪念他们与谢尔-吉尔的郊游和友谊。根据拉兹洛的说法，谢尔-吉尔认为这幅画是她“告别欧洲”之作（从2019年4月与画作现任主人的往来信件中得知）。那年谢尔-吉尔创作了《冬季，西兰岛》。谢尔-吉尔移居印度，再也没有回到匈牙利这个她出生以及充满艺术灵感的国家。两年后，她在印度去世。
