About the piece

Created in 1914, this work by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a powerful example of German Expressionism. The painting utilizes a saturated palette and vigorous brushwork to depict a domestic still life—a bowl of fruit accompanied by a bottle and vase—transforming a simple subject into a dynamic exploration of form and color.
