About Erna Japanschirm

“Erna Japanschirm,” created in 1913 by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, is a pencil drawing on paper during the Expressionism art movement. The artwork, a portrait, measures 51.8 x 38.6 cm.

The artwork captures a woman, portrayed in a minimalist yet expressive style typical of Kirchner’s work. The subject, drawn with simple but effective pencil lines, appears to be contemplative. Her head rests on her hand, and her eyes gaze forward, suggesting a deep or introspective mood. The lines are dynamic and energetic, contributing to an impression of emotional depth. The background features abstract and geometric shapes, characteristic of Expressionism, giving the portrait a sense of complexity despite its apparent simplicity.
