• Stunning rediscovery of a Heckel watercolor.
• With a love of detail, the work testifies to his great skill and passion for the watercolo.
• The artist made this positive watercolor despite the difficult times.
• The painting "Sonnenblumen und Birnen" (Sunflowers and Pears) with a comparable motif was created the same year.

The work is documented in the Erich Heckel Estate, Hemmenhofen on Lake Constance. We are grateful to Renate Ebner and Hans Geissler for the kind support in cataloging this lot.
