About the piece

Created in 1912 by Friedrich Lissmann, this gouache on cardboard work showcases the artist's skill in naturalist observation. The fine textures of the birds' plumage and the delicate alpine flora in the foreground provide a sharp, grounding focus that contrasts with the atmospheric, hazy blue tones of the distant mountain range.
