Inscribed by a hand other than that of the artist. With the stamp of Walter Kirchner (Lugt 1570 a), the artist's brother, on the reverse, there dated "I.3.47" and with tehnd-written number "131" as well as with Walter Kirchner's signature.

[CH/AM].
• Over the past 30 years, only one copy of this rare woodcut was offered on the international auction market (source: artprice).
• Two of the seven known copies are museum-owned: Museum Folkwang, Essen, and Brücke-Museum, Berlin.
• Art-historically relevant in terms of both the time of origin and the motif: in 1905, E. L. Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Fritz Bleyl founded the artist group "Brücke".
• Laterally correct drawing of one of the town's then most famous buildings and the iconic Dresden townscape, which inspired Canaletto (1697-1768) to some of his most acclaimed works.
• With the color woodcut offered here, Kirchner introduced his shift away from the earlier Art Nouveau style and the decorative use of the woodcut.
• With their new ideas in print art, Kirchner and the "Brücke" artists revived a medium quite unpopular at the time.
