About the Work

'Melancholy Girl' was the name Kirchner gave to this sculpture carved from Swiss pine, which he first presented to the public at the Galerie Schames in Frankfurt. In a state of collapse and with reddened eyes, the woman demonstratively presents her feminine charms. Kirchner has combined in the figure the appearance of his two most important partners: the body recalls that of Doris Große, his friend during his time in Dresden, while the head is that of Erna Schilling, his companion in later years. With its smooth surface and carefully coloured setting, the sculpture remains unique in Kirchner's sculptural works.
