Woman at the Window (Frau am Fenster) c. 1923

"Woman at the Window" (c. 1923), by German Expressionist artist Karl Hofer, depicts a nude woman in a contemplative pose, her head resting on her hand. The simplified forms and bold lines of the drawing are characteristic of Hofer's style, which was heavily influenced by both Expressionism and the works of Pablo Picasso. The figure's elongated limbs and the stark contrasts of light and dark create a sense of emotional intensity, reflecting Hofer's interest in exploring the human psyche.
