The artwork, titled “Woman is Walking over a Nighty Street,” created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner between 1928 and 1929, is an exemplary piece from the Cubism and Expressionism movements. With dimensions of 120 x 101 cm, this genre painting is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a striking scene of a woman walking down a street at night, characterized by its vivid use of color and geometric forms typical of Cubist and Expressionist styles. The woman is the central figure, with an elongated form and distinctive attire, adorned with a green dress and hat. Her urban surroundings, brimming with activity and illuminated by bright lights, create a dynamic and somewhat surreal atmosphere. The use of bold lines and contrasting hues conveys a sense of movement and intensity, capturing the nocturnal vibrancy of the city.
