About the piece

Painted in 1905, this early work by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner depicts his contemporary Erich Heckel within their shared studio space. The composition is a prime example of the Die Brücke movement's signature style, utilizing non-naturalistic colors and raw, expressive brushstrokes to capture the creative intensity of the artist's environment.
