Oil on board. Featuring portrait. Signed and attr. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (German 1880-1938). 9 x 6.25 in. (22.9 x 15.9 cm). Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was a driving force in the Die Brücke group that flourished in Dresden and Berlin before World War I, and he has come to be seen as one of the most talented and influential of Germany's Expressionists. Motivated by the same anxieties that gripped the movement as a whole - fears about humanity's place in the modern world, its lost feelings of spirituality and authenticity - Kirchner had conflicting attitudes to the past and present.
