Sich waschende Frau c. 1910

"Sich waschende Frau" (Woman Washing) is a charcoal drawing by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, created around 1910. The quick, gestural lines emphasize the movement of the figure, who is depicted in a simple, yet expressive manner, characteristic of Kirchner's style. The drawing's minimal details, like the tub, reflect Kirchner's focus on capturing the essence of the subject rather than creating a realistic representation. This piece exemplifies Kirchner's exploration of modern life and the human form in a raw and emotional way.
