• Created in Switzerland, Kirchner's adopted home and creative refuge since 1917.
• A playfully light scene on Lake Zurich, captured with great graphic finesse.
• Kirchner is the great draughtsman of the “Brücke” artists: his works are translations of the spontaneous, immediate and emotional experience of reality.

We are grateful to Prof. Dr. Dr. Gerd Presler for his kind expert advice.
