About the piece

Painted in 1911, this striking portrait by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner exemplifies the German Expressionist movement. The subject is rendered with bold, non-naturalistic colors—greens, reds, and deep blues—characteristic of the 'Die Brücke' group's desire to convey raw emotion over literal representation.
