This watercolour from the same year also demonstrates the clear structures and penetrating fields of colour typical of Münter’s work of the 1930’s.

It shows a field worker returning along the Sollerstreet in Murnau. The red roof of the Landhaus Winkler, then as now a pension hotel, dominates the centre of the picture.

One finds a comparable view of the same street in a photograph of the artist from 1908, likely taken by Wassily Kandinsky.
