The Railway 

"The Railway" is a pencil sketch by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, known for his depictions of modern urban life. This intimate drawing, likely a study for a larger work, utilizes gestural lines and fragmented forms to capture the energy and movement of a railway scene. Kirchner's signature style, characterized by angularity and bold brushstrokes, is evident in the sketch's dynamic composition and expressive figures. The subject, likely a passenger on a train, appears dwarfed by the surrounding structures and filled with a sense of unease, reflecting Kirchner's interest in the anxieties of modern society.
