The artwork titled “Milliner with Hat” was created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in the year 1910. Executed in the medium of lithography on paper, this piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement. The portrait work spans dimensions of 59.8 by 43.2 centimeters and is housed at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City, New York, USA.
The artwork features a stylized depiction of a milliner, rendered with bold, simplified lines and shapes characteristic of Expressionism. The subject is portrayed in a minimalist manner with a suggestive rather than detailed approach. The figure wears an elaborate, oversized hat that emphasizes its profession. The color palette is limited, with stark contrasts between the dark black ink and the warm tone of the paper, creating a striking visual impact. The artwork captures both the essence and form of the milliner, embodying the expressive and emotive qualities that define Kirchner’s style and the broader Expressionist movement.
