Frauenkopf c. 1915

"Frauenkopf" (Woman's Head) is a pencil drawing on yellow paper by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, created around 1915. The work showcases Kirchner's characteristic style with its angular lines, bold contours, and emotional intensity. The drawing depicts a woman's head, emphasizing the face and hair, with a simplified rendering of the body. This piece captures a sense of alienation and emotional turmoil often found in Kirchner's work, reflecting the artist's fascination with the complexities of modern life and his anxieties during the turbulent early 20th century.
