About the piece

Created in 1912, this oil on canvas by German Expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner exemplifies the 'Die Brücke' style with its energetic brushstrokes and non-naturalistic color. The arrangement of a rustic jug and an African bowl alongside a dynamic bouquet of blue and yellow flowers creates a striking piece that brings modern vitality to any space.
