Young Girl with Doll

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an abstract drawing of a person's upper body, head, and part of an arm. The person is slightly turned to one side, with their head facing forward. Their facial features are stylized, and their hair is shown as thick lines on each side of their face. The person is wearing a garment with patterned shoulders and a castle-like design on the chest area. In their hand, they hold an object resembling a doll or figure with its own facial features. The background is a dark rectangular space that contrasts with the lighter surface of the drawing.
