Professor Dr Manfred Reuther from the Nolde Stiftung, Seebüll, has confirmed the authenticity of this work.
'The blossoming colours of the flowers and the purity of these colours; I loved them so very much. I loved the flowers in the context of their destiny: shooting up, blossoming, glowing, pleasing, sloping down, fading, and ending up cast in the pit... Our human destiny is not always as consequent or beautiful.'
(E. Nolde, quoted in Emil Nolde, My Garden Full of Flowers, exh. cat., Berlin 2009, p. 24.)
