Reclining Woman in a White Chemise c. 1909

"Reclining Woman in a White Chemise," painted in 1909 by German Expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, depicts a woman in a relaxed pose, lying on a red cushion with sunflowers nearby. The painting's bold colors and simplified forms are characteristic of Kirchner's style, which was influenced by the art of primitive cultures and contemporary urban life. This work, now in the Städel Museum, captures the energy and vibrancy of the early 20th century.
