• An artistic contemporary document: this vibrant watercolor with scorched edges is one of the few works that Heckel managed to rescue after his Berlin studio was firebombed on January 30, 1944.
• Heckel's still lifes are characterized by the inclusion of ornamental backgrounds, such as his wall paintings, other works of art or mirrors.
• In the work offered here, Heckel chose the image section in such a way that the direct connection between the rosehip plant, the two-dimensional background and the heads visible on the left creates a sophisticated interplay of lines and surfaces
.

The work is registered in the Erich Heckel Estate, Hemmenhofen on Lake Constance. We are grateful to Mrs Renate Ebner for her kind support in cataloging this lot.
