About the Work

On the back of the same sheet, Werner Gilles once again rendered the composition of the front in watercolour, although in slightly altered form. Now he immersed the scene in the atmosphere of evening. He began by dividing the picture surface into three horizontal bands of blue, pink and green. Next he covered the entire sheet with a fluid layer of black watercolour. It was only then that he added the line drawing of fishermen, boats, landscape elements and the sea. Across the upper section he distributed little dots that, in combination with the dark background colour, evoke the impression of a starry sky.
