Nude Figure [reverse]

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, 1907

In this tall, thin painting, a nude person stands in a strange position. Their lower body is seen from the back, while their upper body appears to face us, with their head turned towards the left. The individual has light skin and short, dark hair styled close to their scalp, partially covering their forehead. The person holds a thin white fabric or cloth in both hands, and it appears to drape around their shoulders and behind them. The background features a bold palette of colors, with a vivid yellow area on the top and right and a black rectangle on the left, framing the figure's lower body. The floor beneath the figure is a muted green color.
