This lot consists of a hand painted Oil on Canvas rendered in style of the German artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938). Painting signed at the lower right corner: E. L. Kirchner
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was a German expressionist painter and printmaker and one of the founders of the artists group Die Brücke or “The Bridge”, a key group leading to the foundation of Expressionism in 20th-century art. He volunteered for army service in the First World War, but soon suffered a breakdown and was discharged. His work was branded as “degenerate” by the Nazis in 1933, and in 1937 more than 600 of his works were sold or destroyed
