• Preliminary study for August Macke's famous cycle "Schaufensterbilder".
• Next to the "Spaziergänger" the colorful "Mode-Schaufenster" is also one of the most important motifs in the artist's oeuvre.
• In terms of color and form, the group of girls in watercolor seems to blend into the fashion store.
• The balanced composition of the triplet is characteristic of the artist's work
