Upon its completion in 1899 the painting was considered a great attraction at the Hungarian Millenium Exhibition in Budapest. In World War II the picture was heavily damaged, then cut ut and stored. The unorthodox storage conditions further damaged its condition. Restoration started in 1991 under supervision by Polish restorators Stanislav Filipak and Riszard Wójtowicz. During the process several Lascaux products were applied - for lamination, stabilisation of the paint layer as for retouching. Since 1995 the picture has been on exhibition in southern Hungarian town of Opusztaszer.
