"This drawing, created early in Dresden, depicts a street scene. The artist bathes it in the radiance of watercolor and that hectic atmosphere, which he would later distill in Berlin into a highly expressive symbol of the cosmopolitan city. And another distinctive feature: Kirchner initially created this drawing (12.8 x 10.3 cm) as a single sheet—which he then pasted into a sketchbook (21 x 16 cm) (semicircular traces of adhesive on the reverse: top left and top right). He later removed it again, and it thus entered his estate with its own numbering (see: Basel estate stamp on the reverse, lower left)."
