About the piece

Painted in 1909, this iconic work by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a definitive example of the German Expressionist movement 'Die Brücke'. The piece employs a raw, vibrant palette and flat, rhythmic composition to depict a nude figure with a decorative Japanese umbrella, capturing the movement's focus on emotional intensity and modern vitality.
