Sitting girl c. 1925

"Sitting Girl" is a pastel drawing created in 1925 by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Known for his bold lines and simplified forms, Kirchner captures the essence of his subject in this quick sketch. The use of strong colors and expressive strokes gives the work a sense of raw emotion and immediacy, characteristics that are central to the Expressionist movement. This work is currently on display at the Städel Museum.
