Zigeunerfamilie 1926

"Zigeunerfamilie" (Gypsy Family) is a 1926 charcoal drawing by German Expressionist artist Otto Mueller. The work depicts a group of figures, likely a family, in a loose, expressive style characteristic of Mueller's work. The use of charcoal creates a sense of immediacy and depth, emphasizing the figures' presence and the sense of intimacy. The composition is focused on the central figure, a woman in a red headscarf, who holds a child. Mueller's works often focused on the lives of marginalized communities, like gypsies, and this artwork is a powerful testament to the artist's interest in capturing their humanity.
