SummaryKandinsky began making prints in 1902 and he created 152 sheets, some 3/4 of his total print oeuvre of 203 works, while living in Munich from 1902 to 1914. The floral pattern on the woman's skirt fuses with the flowers blooming in the field, as the outline of the skirt plays in and out of the viewer's imagination. The woman's clothing patterns and the clouds have some of the distinctive stylized lines from Jugendstil style which arose in Munich during the end of the 19th century.
