Women Playing with a Ball 1932

"Women Playing with a Ball" (1932) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner depicts two nude women in a landscape setting, painted in the artist's signature expressive style. The figures are elongated and stylized, reminiscent of Kirchner's early work within the German Expressionist movement. The dynamic composition, with one woman throwing a ball and the other reaching up, suggests a playful interaction. The vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes, typical of Kirchner's work, create a sense of movement and energy.
