Bright and expressive landscape of Nidda. The pictorially executed watercolor delivers impressive proof of Pechstein's deeply felt love for the small coastal town of Nidda which Pechstein described as his "Painters Paradise" in retrospect (quote after Soika, Max Pechstein, 2011, p. 31).

"What a pure joy this Nidda is, with the Baltic in the West and the lagoon in the East and fir trees and dunes in between.."
Hermann Max Pechstein in a letter to Friedrich Pietzsch, 1911
