When the original came up for auction in 2020, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's largely unknown early work realised more than double its original estimate - over one million euros was the final price. 'Dorfstraße mit Apfelbäumen' is one of a series of works created in 1907 in Goppeln in Dresden's Elbe Valley, where Kirchner and his fellow painter Max Pechstein from the artists' association 'Brücke', which they had founded together a year earlier, spent time painting in the open air. Stylistically, it bears witness to his involvement with the works of Vincent van Gogh, which the artist had admired in an exhibition at the Arnold Gallery in Dresden in 1905 and which left its mark on many of the 'Brücke' painters. Kirchner's painting style was to develop further and soon go other ways stylistically, and yet the artist still remembered this work in a letter in 1924 and described it favourably as a 'small, one-off chance sample in which I once tried painting with strokes'.
