- Dynamic portrait sketch with Kirchner's typical expressive, nervous lines. - In the year of his creation, Kirchner left the big city of Berlin and, after a stay in a sanatorium in Kreuzlingen on Lake Constance, visited the Swiss mountains around Davos for the first time, where he was to spend the longest period of his life in the years that followed. - The portraits of his fellow men play an important role in his entire oeuvre of drawings, paintings and photographs.
