About the piece

This 1913 pastel by Estonian artist Ants Laikmaa portrays a majestic cathedral in Berlin using a spirited and expressive technique. The composition balances the solid, light-filled structure of the architecture with lush green shrubbery and small human figures, all set against a warm sky that evokes the vibrant urban atmosphere of the early 20th century.
