Peter Schlemihls wundersame Geschichte: Die Geliebte (Peter Schlemihl's Wondrous Story: The Beloved)

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, 1915

The image shows a person seated, with most of their body visible. The person is depicted in profile, slightly hunched forward with both arms resting on their knees. They have a focused expression, with slightly furrowed brows and eyes looking towards the left side of the image. The person has dark, voluminous hair and their skin is portrayed using bold strokes of pinks and reds against a contrasting background. The figure seems unclothed and is not wearing any jewelry or holding any objects. The background consists of abstract shapes and patterns in deep reds, blues, and yellows, suggesting an enclosed space with additional elements on the right side of the image.
