- The year the work was made, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff married his long-time partner, the photographer Emy Frisch, they spent the summer months in the quaint town of Hohwacht on the Baltic Sea. - Hohwacht became a retreat for Schmidt-Rottluff and other artists like Heinrich Vogeler and Bernhard Hoetger, as well as for Rosa Schapire, author of Schmidt-Rottluff's catalogue raisonné of prints. - Romantic coastal landscapes and works characterized by depictions of man and nature in balance were made in the summers after the war. - The war had changed the artist, who would develop an increased sensitivity. - Schmidt-Rottluff rendered the vast coastal landscape in a composition of clear forms, lines and hatchures.
The work is documented in the archive of the Karl and Emy Schmidt-Rottluff Foundation Berlin.
