Frau mit Ziege 1938

"Frau mit Ziege" (Woman with Goat), painted by German Expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1938, depicts a woman in a blue dress walking with a goat by a stream. The painting is characterized by Kirchner's signature bold, angular lines and strong colors, typical of the Expressionist movement. The scene is rendered with a sense of energy and movement, underscoring the emotional power of the human-animal connection. Kirchner's work often focused on themes of isolation and alienation, and this piece is a powerful example of these themes.
