Signed and dated in lower right. Verso of the stretcher with a hand-written number and an old, fragmentarily preserved label. 74 x 93 cm (29.1 x 36.6 in).

• Characteristic lake motif from Leistikow's late period of creation.
• Historically fascinating provenance.
• Made in context of a return to an impressionist style
• Leistikow is considered a modernist pathfinder for the Berlin art scene, among others, as co-founder of the Berlin Secession in 1898
• Particularly atmospheric work owing to a palette of subdued and calm hues of green and blue which are characteristic of Leistikow's work
