Dreaming Girl 1906

"Dreaming Girl" is a 1906 etching by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The artwork depicts a woman lying on her side, her body contorted in a dynamic pose. Kirchner’s use of angular lines and fragmented forms emphasizes the figure's emotional state and captures the anxieties of modern life, a key theme in the Expressionist movement. The print's raw and gestural style conveys a sense of urgency and unease, characteristic of Kirchner's work.
