It is made in oil paint on canvas and belongs to the genre of animal art, a subject that runs through much of the artist's output. Marc was a German painter and printmaker, a key figure in German Expressionism and a founding member of Der Blaue Reiter. The painting is held today at the Lenbachhaus.
