Im Walde spielende Mädchen 1923

"Im Walde spielende Mädchen" (Girls Playing in the Forest) is a 1923 etching by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The artwork depicts two nude female figures in a stylized forest setting, characterized by Kirchner's signature angular lines and expressive brushstrokes. The figures are depicted with a sense of immediacy and raw emotion, reflecting Kirchner's exploration of the human condition and the complexities of modern life. This work, now in the Städel Museum, showcases Kirchner's mastery of printmaking and his powerful and evocative artistic style.
