The Drinker (self-portrait) 

This self-portrait, "The Drinker," by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, depicts the artist in a somber mood, his face drawn and his eyes downcast. The painting's vivid colors and bold brushstrokes capture the angst and alienation of modern life, themes that Kirchner explored throughout his career. The distorted features and exaggerated proportions contribute to the emotional intensity of the work, highlighting the artist's inner turmoil and the anxieties of the early 20th century.
