Around 1880, after studying in Weimar and extensive trips to Rügen, the Netherlands, Belgium and finally to Italy, Karl Hagemeister returned to his home region of the Havelland. In the seclusion of untouched nature, he began to discover the motifs that were to become characteristic of his later work. The lake landscape around Ferch am Schwielowsee, which is criss-crossed by small swampy canals and watercourses, allowed him to immerse in the meditative stillness of nature and to produce landscape impressions informed by Impressionism and the "paysage intime". With a color palette that becomes increasingly lighter and more delicate, he developed the tone from an evenly distributed light. With the aim of attaining an intensely moving sensation of nature from a still life-like conception, he went deep into the thicket of the deserted river landscape time and again. He recalized "that nature is not a still life, but a creative, eternally working organism", which he tries to recreate in color in the changing moods of a constantly changing impression, subject to wind and weather. Interwoven with a fresh, radiant grass green with delicate dabs of yellow, Hagemeister shows the shore zone pervaded by the warm, golden tones of autumn, in whose untouched idyll two little ducks appear in the gentle, motionless stillness of the waters. Characteristic of the 1880s, during which he lived in seclusion in and with nature solely for his painting, are these pieces made on the shore of Schwielowsee, which he painted in a free, lively, airy style. Many of the local residents own a small boat themselves, including Hagemeister, which he used to explore hidden places in the thicket of the wooded area. In this way he manages to get to those places that are so characteristic of his compositions, which were often created "plein-air": Direct vantage points in close-up directly from the low boat, across the dense reeds and the grass, clarify the painter's point of view and also put the viewer directly into the habitat of the water birds and the other creatures that live there.
