“Female Nude with Black Hat” is an artwork created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, known for his association with the Expressionism art movement. The artwork falls under the genre of nude painting (nu).
The artwork depicts a female figure standing nude, adorned only with a black hat. The style is characteristic of the Expressionist movement, with bold and dynamic lines that emphasize emotional depth and intensity. The contrasting use of light and dark areas brings forth the form of the figure against a fragmentary and abstract background. The stance and gaze of the subject, coupled with the monochromatic color scheme, evoke a sense of introspection and vulnerability, hallmarks of Kirchner’s expressive artistry.
