Plate from Kirchner Zeichnungen (Kirchner Drawings)

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

National Gallery of Art

The image displays bold, black lines and sharp angles arranged in an abstract form within a circular frame. The shapes and lines create a depiction resembling a horse and rider. The horse's legs and body are outlined with angular and flowing lines, conveying movement. The rider is depicted with minimalistic lines outlining a human-like figure. In the background, vertical and diagonal lines suggest elements resembling trees or architectural forms. The scene is enclosed by a thicker, curved outline, confining the illustration within a rounded shape. The elements evoke a sense of nature and motion in a simplified, abstract style.
