Naked Girl on a Carpet (Nacktes Mädchen auf Teppich)

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

National Gallery of Art

The image contains bold, angular lines and geometric shapes forming an abstract representation of a human figure with raised arms. The composition is stylized and fragmented, resembling interconnected shapes and lines. The figure is set against intersecting lines and angular patterns, with a smaller abstract figure beside it. Both figures stand on a patterned floor design that mimics tiles or interlocking bricks.
