About this work

This sketch shows four naked people near a body of water. One sits on the ground, one lies down, and two walk together. The background has quick, dark lines for trees and a sky. The colors are mostly browns, blues, and pale yellows. The loose, sketchy lines make the scene feel fast and rough. The artist added watercolor in some spots to soften the edges. Look up Max Pechstein to see more of his bold, expressive work.
