About the piece
Painted in 1919 by Dorothea Maetzel-Johannsen, this expressionist composition uses bold colors and angular forms to depict two female figures. Set against a deep blue sky and a glowing crescent moon, the piece captures the raw emotional energy characteristic of early 20th-century German modernism, with luminous oranges and yellows contrasting against cool mountain shadows.
