It is a declaration of love to a favourite holiday resort of the young expressionist painter: a house in the coastal village of Ezzahra (or St. Germain) in Tunisia. The male figure kneeling at the bottom of the white staircase is wearing a fez, a traditional headdress. Would you like to buy another painting by August Macke?
