Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of an interior space with stylized elements including a bust, a table, and decorative patterns. The composition includes a prominent orange background with vertical wavy lines. In the foreground, there is a table with an object that might be a book, and in the center area, a thick white column with marble-like designs supports a greenish bust sculpture. The painting's style uses bold outlines and flat areas of color. This is in style of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner.
