• Berlin by night: a street scene in the dense and dynamic style of the Berlin years, in which Kirchner makes the hustle and bustle of the city at night almost tangible.
• In 1911, the artist moved to Berlin and began to work with impressions gained on the streets.
• The move brought completely new motifs into Kirchner's works, among them prostitutes and elegant pedestrians, streetcars and automobiles, shop windows and neon signs.
• The famous "street scenes" are particularly rare on the international auction market.

"They were made in the years 11-14, during one of the loneliest times of my life, when an agonizing restlessness drove me out again and again, day and night, into the streets crowded with people and cars."
E. L. Kirchner about the street scenes in his diary, 1919, quoted from: Magdalena M. Moeller, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Die Straßenszenen 1913-1915, Munich 1993, p. 25.
