Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

The image shows a graphic artwork of part of a face, specifically the right side with the eye, cheek, and nose on a red background. The facial features are depicted in a bold, angular style typical of expressionist woodcut prints, with an emphasis on strong lines and contrast. The hair is abstract and cropped. The person appears unclothed. The background includes abstract shapes and figures, alongside text at the top and bottom reading "BRÜCKE 1909" and "Schmidt - Rottluff," with the initials "ELK" in the bottom right corner.
