Erich Heckel

Tulpen im schwarzen Topf
1950

Watercolour over pencil on chamois-coloured wove paper 43 x 31 cm Framed under glass. Signed and dated 'Heckel 50' in pencil to the right in the depiction and titled '-Tulpen im schwarzen Topf -' lower left margin. Additionally inscribed '-Tulpen - 1950' on the verso lower right. - In very good condition, trace of minor surface scratch to the upper left corner.

In the following years, Heckel repeated this motive of tulips in a black vase - complemented by interesting backgrounds - in two paintings (cf. Vogt 1954/6 "Tulpen im schwarzen Topf" and Vogt 1956/6 "Tulpen am Fenster").
