• From 1949 to 1953, Schmidt-Rottluff spent the end of each year with his painter friend Otto Ehrich in Ticino.
• A striking example of Schmidt-Rottluff’s masterful combination of luminous colors and formative black contours.
• The work displays a subtle fusion of nature and emotion, allowing the viewer to establish a deeper, almost meditative connection with the depicted Ticino landscape.
• Part of the same collection for approximately 60 years.

The watercolor is documented in the archive of the Karl and Emy Schmidt-Rottluff Foundation. We are grateful for the kind support.
