About the piece

Created in 1912, this watercolor by August Macke is a masterful example of the German Expressionist movement's focus on color and rhythm. The work depicts a woman with a jug moving through a landscape of simplified, arching trees, using a bold yet harmonious palette that feels strikingly modern even today.
