Head of Dr. Bauer

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, 1933

The image shows a portrait of a person's head in profile view, along with another silhouette that overlaps and mirrors the head. This person is depicted from the shoulders up, facing to the right. Their facial features are stylized and prominent, with an exaggerated contour of the head and distinct lines emphasizing the features. The person has very short hair or appears bald, with distinctive black lines indicating hair texture. Their eyes are sharply outlined, with an intense blue hue. The person is wearing a dark suit jacket with a white shirt, visible above the shoulders. The background is abstract with a mix of dark shades, primarily purples and greens.
