- Depictions of the sea and Northern German landscapes, in particular of his native Seebüll in Holstein, are found throughout Emil Nolde's entire oeuvre. - In the present work, the artist breaks up the flat blue-gray color scheme with fine hatched lines and the motifs of small steamships emitting dark smoke. - Atmospheric composition: the sloping dunes allow only a glimpse of the vast sea and the cloudy sky, seeming to offer the painter protection from wind and storms.
Accompanied by a written confirmation issued by Prof. Dr. Manfred Reuther, then Director of the Seebüll Ada and Emil Nolde Foundation, dated September 4, 2007.
