Street Scene after the Rain (Straßenszene, Nach dem Regen)

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a series of bold, angular lines and jagged shapes forming an intricate composition. There are curved and straight lines creating an abstract artwork. The shapes resemble a group of people with discernible faces and hats, some holding objects reminiscent of flowers. The figures are set against a backdrop suggesting tree-like forms, with lines crossing and converging, evoking branches and pathways.
