Information

Watercolour on Japan laid paper, mounted on cardboard by the artist. 5,6 x 11,5 cm (11,9 x 15,1 cm) (2 ¼ x 4 ½ in. (4 ⅝ x 6 in.)). Inscribed in pen and brown ink (a little faded) below the watercolour: Diese Rotblonde soll Ihnen, lieber Herr Rahlfs[!], unseren Dank dafür sagen, daß Sie immer sich unserer Geburtstage erinnern. Wir grüßen Sie and Ihre liebe Frau, Ihre Ada u. Emil Nolde. Seebüll 25.10.43.

Martin Urban, Stiftung Seebüll Ada und Emil Nolde, writes in a letter of 3 September 1987 to Käte Ralfs: „I received your kind letter with the enclosed photo of the Nolde watercolour upon my return from a vacation. I cordially thank you. The card is a very beautiful document of your friendship with Nolde, the ,Rotblonde’ might belong to the Berlin watercolours of 1910/11.“ (translated from the original German).
