Karl Schmidt-Rottluff first concentrated on executing watercolours in 1909. With watercolours, the aggressive impulse with which, in previous years, he had sought to vanquish the finiteness of objects with every single brush-stroke gave way to a soft and flowing language of form. In contrast to his Die Brücke friends Erich Heckel and Ernst-Ludwig Kirchner, Schmidt-Rottluff showed no rupture in his creative output after the war, and he continued with his compositions in the style of the pre-war years, particularly in his watercolours. During the First World War the artist was sent to Russia and Lithuania. The Russian village was painted after his return to Germany in memory of the Russian landscape. Graphic lines in the form of dark contours define the framework of the picture, and are dominated by intensively brilliant primary colours, applied to the sheet with varying levels of intensity.
