Exhibited
Leipzig, 1910
Literature
Deutsche Kunst und Dekoration, XXXVII, Darmstadt, 1915/16, p. 19 (illustration of the work as it appeared when first painted in 1907, as Hervorbrechende Sonne. The painting was then reworked in 1910)
Condition
The canvas has not been lined. Ultra-violet light reveals a thick layer of residual varnish which makes the surface quite difficult to read - it is therefore difficult to ascertain any previous restoration. However, some strokes of retouching are visible in the far lower right corner and in the upper left corner. Overall, this work is in good condition and ready to hang.
Presented in a gilt frame.
