• The female outdoor nude plays a key role not only in Heckel"s oeuvre, but also in the artistic work of former "Brücke" members E. L. Kirchner and Karl Schmdit-Rottluff.
• The depictions are an expression of a longing for the unity of man and nature.
• In 1919, the artist and his wife bought a farmhouse in Osterholz on the Flensburg Fjord, where they would often spent the summer months in the following years.
• In the year the drawing was created, Otto Mueller (probably with his then wife Elsbeth Lübke) visited for a few weeks and created several nudes and bathing scenes on the Baltic Sea beach
.
The work is registered in the Hermann Gerlinger Collection as SHG 321a.
