Heimkehrende Kühe. 1922/1927.
Woodcut in colors from three blocks: brown, orange, green.
Rathenau 27. Signed, dated and inscribed with the work number "272". On wove paper. 39.7 x 50 cm (15.6 x 19.6 in). Sheet: 56,5 x 80,5 cm (22,2 x 31,6 in).

• Richest version of this woodcut in four (instead of three) colors.
• Only two further copies have been offered on the international auction market (source: artprice.com).
• Within Schmidt-Rottluff's extensive graphic oeuvre, there are only very few of these elaborate color woodcuts.
• The clear lines and a tendency towards simplified forms have significantly influenced the graphic art of German Expressionism.
• It was precisely in the technique of woodcuts that Schmidt-Rottluff found his most concise artistic expression.
