Self Portrait with Cat 

"Self Portrait with Cat" is a painting by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, renowned for his bold colors and simplified forms. The painting depicts Kirchner in a vibrant red jacket, against a backdrop of a window with a glimpse of a cityscape and a black cat. The artist's face is rendered with angular lines and contrasting shades, reflecting the emotional intensity characteristic of Expressionism. The vibrant colors and simplified forms, along with the inclusion of the cat, create a sense of personal introspection and emotional turmoil, typical of Kirchner's self-portraits.
