Strassenbahn in Dresden 1909

"Strassenbahn in Dresden" (1909) is a pencil sketch by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. It depicts a street scene in Dresden with a tram car, buildings, and figures. Kirchner's dynamic brushstrokes and angular forms give the drawing a sense of urgency and movement, characteristic of his artistic style. The sketch captures the energy and dynamism of urban life in early 20th-century Germany, a recurring theme in Kirchner's works. This quick sketch, capturing a fleeting moment in time, reveals the artist's keen observation of the modern world.
