According to Deecke's certificate the artist creates the depiction's atmosphere by partly wiping brushstrokes that contrast with the light heightened parts and the white highlights. "At the far right and left one can detect some brownish parts, however, taken as a whole the glowing green shade predominates. This shade appears like an anticipation of the later description of Lovis Corinth as a German impressionist." Already from 1884 until 1887 when he was at the Paris Academy where he learnt painting in a traditional manner, he kept spending weeks exterior, focusing on open air painting as well as nature's colored light phenomenons. However, he did so without knowing the contemporary French impressionists. In search of his own pictorial language, in the summer of 1886 he painted in Holstein. This is where he painted amongst others the present work. "Amongst the works painted in a traditional manner 'Im Walde' (In the forest) appears like a first anticipation of the painter of the so-called German impressionism. Lovis Corinth was considered one of them in the early 20th century. The work 'Im Walde' remains isolated until 1891.", Deecke explains in his certificate, in which he emphasizes the importance of this large-format panel as an anticipation of Corinth's later painting. "The later termed German impressionistic method of light painting, which means that the painting is made directly in front of the motif, is already indicated in 'Im Walde'. It will later peak in his Walchensee paintings and in his watercolors. However, in this early period Lovis Corinth still experiments with various motifs and methods of painting. Besides he was noncommital to a specific way of painting. Nevertheless, according to his East Prussian temper, Corinth slowly developed and found his own, unique pictorial language. The painting 'Im Walde' is an excellent example for that
