Sitting female nude 1913

"Sitting female nude" (1913) is a charcoal drawing by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The piece features a simplified, almost abstract figure of a nude woman in a dynamic pose, characterized by bold, angular lines. This style was typical of Kirchner's early works, which often explored themes of urban life, sexuality, and alienation. The drawing's raw, expressive lines create a sense of energy and emotion, reflecting the artist's desire to capture the intensity of modern life. The work is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
