• From the sought-after creative years in Berlin.
• E. L. Kirchner spent the summer of 1913 with his partner Erna Schilling on the island of Fehmarn, his beloved retreat far away from the Berlin hustle and bustle.
• In the summer of 1913, only a few months after the artists' group had disbanded, Kirchner's former "Brücke" colleague Otto Mueller and his wife Maschka came to Fehmarn for a visit.
• Uninhibited nudity in nature was an important source of inspiration for E. L. Kirchner and his fellow "Brücke" artists and characteristic of their expressionist work.
• In the same year, Kirchner also painted "Badende am Strand, Fehmarn" (Bathers on the Beach, Fehnmarn) (Neue Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin)
.

The work is documented at the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Archive in Wichtrach/Bern, Switzerland.
