Nice puzzle!
Did you manage to solve it?
30 seconds, but the most beautiful endgames are often easy to solve. A short while ago I posted a checkmate in 9 moves featuring a similar theme to this one. Like smothered mate, it is not new but never ceases to thrill when you find it in a new setting! This one could very well be a chess.com tactic around the 2500 level. There are lots of short and sweet endings in that database.
To give credit where due, this is a 1939 study by E. Richter.

The last comment on it was 7 weeks ago, currently page 9 of the puzzle forum. Title: "Just a nice mate in 9 moves".
Here's a very interesting puzzle.
