Kirchner repeatedly rendered the surroundings of Albertplatz in Dresden in drawings characterized by great love for detail, for example in pencil drawings as in this one, in colored chalks or in lithographs, as well as in the large painting: "Das Boskett - Platz in Dresden" (1911 ), which is the most popular depiction. Where the circular square has its northern exit, not far from the Albert Theater, there are two decorative bosquets with exotic plants - plantain or banana trees - in the middle of round decorative lattices on both sides of the then very narrow thoroughfare. In this work Kirchner was looking at the beginning of Bautzner Strasse. The bosquet conceals the artesian well. In mid left we see a tram stop that still exists today, behind it a house with a mansard roof, followed by a taller building. These two houses stood between the artesian well and the junction with Alaunstraße. Kirchner enlivened his street paintings with passers-by to emphasize the urban atmosphere. [MvL]
