• Impressive exhibition history. • More than 30 years part of the renowned collection of Werner Blohm, Hamburg. • With a swift line Kirchner captured his personal surroundings at the Wildbodenhaus in Davos, where he moved into together with his partner in the autumn of 1923. • Since the early Dresden days of the "Brücke", the artists" private living space did not only serve as studio, but were also motif of their drawings, prints and paintings. • Kirchner depicted himself on a chair smoking a pipe, while Erna Schilling with her characteristic bangs lounges on the bed that Kirchner had made himself (1919, Swiss pine wood, Kirchner Museum Davos) while Kirchner"s beloved cat "Boby" takes a prominent position in the foreground. • The drawing stands in direct connection with Kirchner" painting "Moderne Bohème" (Gordon 767) and the woodcut of the same name. • Scenes like this are extremely rare on the international auction market .
