The artwork, titled “Still Life with Sculpture in front of a Window” by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, was created between 1933 and 1935. This oil on canvas piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and falls into the genre of still life. The dimensions of the artwork are 60.5 by 71 centimeters.
The composition of the artwork features a sculptural form set against a backdrop of a window draped with curtains, evoking a domestic scene. The foreground is dominated by a round, transparent vase containing an arrangement of green leaves and blooming flowers. The leaves exhibit bold shapes with irregular, serrated edges, and are complemented by the bright, stylized flowers. The window behind the sculpture creates a sense of depth, while the white curtains adorned with circular motifs introduce a rhythmic pattern to the setting. The palette primarily encompasses earthy tones and subdued hues, characteristic of Kirchner’s expressive style. The overall composition balances the textured elements of the sculpture, plant, and window, culminating in a harmonious yet dynamic visual experience.
