Performer Bowing

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, 1909

This artwork shows a partial view of a woman's body from mid-thigh upwards. She appears to be in a standing or slightly leaning position, with her arms extending outward or possibly resting on something. Her facial features are stylized and prominent, with dark, arched eyebrows, a small, defined nose, and a slightly downturned mouth. Her hair is short and dark, framing her face. She is dressed in a striking red garment that fits closely to her figure. The background of the image is abstract, featuring patches of blue and red.
