About the piece

Created in 1917 by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, this oil on canvas captures a group of figures at the Moritzburg Lakes. As a primary example of German Expressionism, the work employs non-naturalistic, saturated colors and raw, energetic brushstrokes to convey a sense of primal harmony with the natural world.
