• The work was created in the early postwar period—a phase of artistic renewal and stylistic reorientation for Nay.
• The interplay of ink brush and pencil creates a tension between spontaneous gesture and constructive planning.
• Previously exhibited on several occasions, including at the Städtische Galerie im Städel, Frankfurt am Main.
