Kniender Akt 1905

"Kniender Akt" (1905) by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a charcoal drawing that depicts a nude female figure kneeling with her back turned to the viewer. Kirchner's signature bold, angular lines and use of dark, expressive shading contribute to the raw and emotional intensity of the piece. This drawing exemplifies Kirchner's exploration of the human form and his fascination with the complexities of the human condition, a defining theme of his artistic career.
