Portrait of Ludwig Schames 

"Portrait of Ludwig Schames" is a woodcut by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. It features a close-up view of the subject's face and beard, rendered in bold, angular lines characteristic of Kirchner's style. The artist's signature, "C.L.K," is visible in the lower left corner, adding an authentic touch to the artwork. While Kirchner's works often portray themes of urban life, anxiety, and social alienation, this portrait focuses on the individual, offering a glimpse into the subject's character through a powerful and expressive visual language.
