The outlaw's life and figure was a major concern for Munkácsy ever since his childhood. It is known from his "Memoirs" that he suffered much during the years of apprenticeship and that he always wanted to see a living outlaw as a symbol of free life even if he had to wait for him under a table in the inn.
