About the piece
Painted in 1913, this work by August Macke is a hallmark of the Rhenish Expressionist style, characterized by its luminous palette and rhythmic, simplified forms. The composition depicts a moment of leisure, where the figures and their sun-drenched garden environment merge into a harmonious tapestry of color and light.
