Peter Schlemihls wundersame Geschichte: Der Verkauf des Schattens (Peter Schlemihl's Wondrous Story: The Sale of His Shadow)

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, 1915

The image contains strong angular lines and a mix of geometric and organic shapes, forming an abstract composition. In the center, deep purple and black shapes resemble a figure draped in a cloak. Surrounding this central shape are sharp, fragmented lines and patterns in red and black. A red circular form is positioned above the purple shape, resembling an umbrella. The composition hints at an outdoor scene with stylized foliage and figures.
