About the piece

Created in 1913, this watercolor study by Wassily Kandinsky showcases the artist's pioneering approach to abstraction. Dynamic India ink lines suggest the chaotic energy of a sea battle (Seeschlacht), while fluid washes of yellow, violet, and earthy tones create a sense of atmospheric depth and movement.
