Dem Portrait von Maria Giovanini stand die Haushaltshilfe der Familie Giacometti, Maria Giovanini aus dem Bergeller Dorf Casaccia, gleichzeitig für Vater Giovanni Giacometti und Sohn Alberto Modell. Nicht selten malte Alberto in jungen Jahren Seite an Seite seines Vaters und sie teilten sich dieselbe Farbpalette. Das gleichzeitig entstandene Bild von Giovanni Giacometti findet sich in seinem Werkkatalog unter der Nummer 1921.11.
The model for the portrait of Maria Giovanini was the Giacometti family housekeeper, Maria Giovanini, who came from the Bergell village of Casaccia and sat at the same time for both father and son Alberto. In his younger years, Alberto painted fairly often at the side of his father and shared the same colour palette. Giovanni Giacometti's picture, developed at the same time, is listed in his catalogue raisonné as number 1921.11.
