In her catalogue raisonné on Friedrich's drawings, Grummt states that she did not know the location of the sheet when she researched it. Like Kühl in 1928, she dates it to around 1811 and sees it as a preliminary study for, among other things, the oil painting 'Frühschnee' in the possession of the Hamburger Kunsthalle (listed no. 363 in Helmut Börsch-Supan and Karl Wilhelm Jähnig's cat. rais. of the oil paintings).
The conspicuous numbers above the tree tops are to be read as 'distance numbers', which define the ratio of the distances between the trees. They thus helped the artist to choose the correct colour tone when creating the painting (cf. Grummt, vol. I, p. 490)

The most important Romantic painter: an initiator of modernism
Within Kasper König's collection, which is so modern and contemporary in character, two small, non-colored works on paper by one artist appear to be visually and historically divergent. And yet the inclusion of Caspar David Friedrich in the collector's interest is extremely logical. The innovations of the most influential painter of German Romanticism sometimes disturbed his conservative contemporaries to such an extent that Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was so angry in a letter to Sulpitz Boisserée: "Friedrich's paintings can just as well be seen upside down" (translated). Today, Caspar David Friedrich is celebrated precisely for the historically radical new attitude of his artistic work. His painting " Der Mönch am Meer" (1808, Nationalgalerie Berlin), is not only regarded by art historian Werner Busch as "the epitome of a modern picture". Robert Rosenblum sees Friedrich as the starting point of abstract art and Florian Illies establishes the link between Friedrich's art and modernism in a wide variety of genres, including conceptual art. Currently, in the year of his 250th birthday, numerous exhibitions are dedicated to the artist.
Insight into the working methods of a genius
A drawing by Caspar David Friedrich, which has found its way into Kasper König's collection, illustrates the painter's working process. The sheet from 1811 is related to the oil painting " Der Chasseur im Walde" (The Chasseur in the Forest) from 1814. The front of the " Waldstudie" (Forest Study) sheet shows the layout of the snow-covered spruce forest in the painting, but without the figure of the French soldier. The place where the man will stand is marked with an "a". The raven, which caws at the lone man in the painting, is also not shown here. Numbers next to the individual treetops mark the distance to the viewer's position, with the highest numbers assigned to the nearest trees. The same numbers therefore indicate the same distances and thus also similar color values. The drawing on the reverse is a reduction to the central, but here bare, spruce trunks, which are depicted in varying degrees of hatching and internal drawing and which appear quite abstract in their arrangement. The letter "a" for the location of the chasseur is again indicated. This page also bears the signature. And without context? A highly modern sheet. Can we dare to isolate these drawings from their context and view them purely aesthetically? If so, the abstract arrangement of the stems and the auxiliary figures give the sheet a strong modernity. They are reminiscent of notations or even - a bold association - of Andy Warhol's "Do It Yourself" paintings, which play with the popular "paint by numbers" motifs
