Two girls at the table c. 1936

"Two Girls at the Table" is a delicate pencil drawing by German Expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, created around 1936. The artwork depicts two young women seated at a table, their forms rendered in a simplified and expressive style characteristic of Kirchner's work. The subtle lines and soft shading evoke a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation, suggesting a moment of shared conversation or reflection. This piece, housed in the Städel Museum, exemplifies Kirchner's exploration of human relationships and the power of visual language.
