Portrait F. (Egmont R. O. Seyerlen) 1914

"Portrait F. (Egmont R. O. Seyerlen)" is a 1914 etching by the German Expressionist artist Ludwig Meidner. The work depicts a close-up view of a man's head, rendered in stark, expressive lines. Meidner's use of heavy, dark lines creates a sense of emotional intensity, characteristic of German Expressionism, a movement that sought to express inner feelings rather than objective reality. The subject, Egmont R. O. Seyerlen, is depicted with a pronounced, almost caricatured, physical appearance, reflecting the artistic trend of the time.
