• Particularly expressive and complex composition.
• Velvety, powdery surface of great luminosity.
• From 1920 onwards, pastel chalk characterized Hölzel's oeuvre and impresses with the great luminosity.
• Other pastels from this period can be found in, among others, the Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main, the Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig, Vienna, and the Sprengel Museum, Hanover.

We are grateful to Dr. Alexander Klee for his kind expert advice.
