Self-Portrait with a Model 1910

"Self-Portrait with a Model" (1910) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner depicts the artist in a bold, striped robe, holding a palette and brush, with a female model seated beside him. The painting exemplifies Kirchner's Expressionist style, characterized by vivid colors, distorted forms, and emotional intensity. Kirchner's self-portraits, often featuring a sense of isolation and alienation, provide insights into his inner world and the anxieties of modern life. This artwork, currently located in the Kunsthalle Hamburg, is a testament to Kirchner's artistic brilliance and his ability to convey powerful emotions through his art.
