The watercolors from Erich Heckel's "Brücke" days in Dresden are characterized by bright and intensive colors and a sketchy and spontaneous composition. The depicted person doubtlessly is Fränzi, who sat model for the "Brücke" artists on many occasions as of 1909. When Roman Norbert Ketterer asked Erich Heckel in 1958 what it was that he particularly remembered of the year 1909, he answered: "In my memory it is her [Fränzi] [..] a special event from 1909 that must be seen in connection with the relatively planar painting [..] These pictures were made with thinned paint [..] By 1909 this method had become [..] standard for all of us." (Quote after: Klaus Albers/Gerd Presler, Festschrift for Eberhard W. Kornfeld on occasion of his 80th birthday, special print, p. 215). Our watercolor is a prime example of this development.
