Owed to the firm brushstroke, the watercolor appears more drawn than painted. For its early date it can be considered one of first works from the artist's late period of creation. While the discarded composition on verso still is a lot more pictorial, Rohlfs delivers proof of a poise that will be charactereistic of his art until the end of his life.
