阿姆麗塔·謝爾-吉爾是一位著名的匈牙利印度裔畫家。她被稱為“ 20世紀初期最偉大的先鋒派女性藝術家之一”，也是現代印度藝術的“先鋒”。
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年拉茲洛和羅西·烏巴赫直接從謝爾-吉爾那裡購買了這幅畫。拉茲洛是匈牙利摩托車和摩托艇比賽的冠軍，攝影師和電影製片人。這對夫妻有好幾個作家和藝術家朋友，其中之一就是謝爾-吉爾。他們和謝爾-吉爾，她的叔叔巴克泰和伯恩·戈特斯曼在一起度過了很多時間。
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.
拉茲洛和羅西·烏巴赫購買了這幅畫，藉以紀念他們與謝爾-吉爾的郊遊和友誼。根據拉茲洛的說法，謝爾-吉爾認為這幅畫是她“告別歐洲”之作（從2019年4月與畫作現任主人的往來信件中得知）。那年謝爾-吉爾創作了《冬季，西蘭島》。謝爾-吉爾移居印度，再也沒有回到匈牙利這個她出生以及充滿藝術靈感的國家。兩年後，她在印度去世。
