1923

Sketch sheet. Pencil drawings resp. gouaches over pencil on drawing paper 21 x 16.2 cm Framed under glass. Inscribed '70 x 54 35 x 27 Temp. + Tusche' and '1923 XVII Aquarell F 2 vorhanden' resp. in pencil below the left coloured compostion. - The left margin with remnants of a thread stitching; slightly browned along the edges. Minimal traces of creasing.

According to Ruth Wöbkemeier, some of the pencil annotations could have been added by Walter Dexel at a later time when reviewing his early sketch books.
The left composition refers to the larger work "1923 XVII oder Mit gelbem Dreieck" (35 x 27 cm, gouache on card, Wöbkemeier 227).
