Room 1908

"Room" (1908) by Richard Gerstl (1883-1908) is an oil painting that depicts a simple, sparsely furnished room with a table and chair. The dark palette, loose brushstrokes, and heavy impasto create a sense of intimacy and introspection, characteristic of Gerstl's style. This painting is a powerful example of the artist's unique artistic vision and its tragic finality, as Gerstl tragically took his own life shortly after completing this work.
