Lake Traunsee with the Schlafende Griechin mountain
Expressionism
1907
37.0 x 39.0 cm
“Schlafender Griechin” or Erlakogel, is a peak to the south of the lake, whose outlook is not easily attainable from the eastern shore, so it is likely that Gerstl, having almost entirely dispensed with his earlier pointillism, painted it using broader strokes and swirls whilst in a boat on the lake itself.
