Inscribed by a hand other than that of the artist on the stretcher. 81 x 100 cm (31.8 x 39.3 in), (Soika mentions dimensions of ca. 74 x 79 cm due to different information supplied by the owner to the Max Pechstein-UHRG in 1970).
Brilliant expressive Nida landscape from the days of an artistic renaissance in 1919 after the end of World War I. The work delivers impressive proof of Pechsteins lasting love with the small coastal town Nida, which Pechstein always described as his "painters paradise" (quote after Soika, Max Pechstein, 2011, p. 31).
A coastal landscape with boathouse and male figures in similar coloring from 1919 is in the collection of the Brücke Museum in Berlin (cf. Soika 1919/73).
