Schweizer Bäuerin 1927

"Schweizer Bäuerin" (Swiss Peasant Woman) is a 1927 watercolor painting by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The work depicts a woman's face, rendered in a highly stylized and expressive manner, with bold lines and contrasting colors. Kirchner's distinct style, characterized by angular forms and emotional intensity, is evident in this portrayal of a rural subject. The painting's subject matter and expressive style connect it to the artistic movements of German Expressionism and Neue Sachlichkeit, which emerged in the early 20th century.
