Female Half-Length Nude with Hat

Female Half-Length Nude with Hat is an oil-on-canvas painting by German artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, executed in 1911.

Kirchner's half-nude painting shows Doris Große, known as Dodo, with whom he was together from 1909 to 1911, when he moved from Dresden to Berlin.

In addition to influences from French Fauvism, in which the motif of a beautiful woman with a hat often appeared, the sparse lines of the drawing and the restrained color scheme are elements taken from non-European art.

He also abandoned the two-dimensionality he had previously practiced in favor of a more plastic visual effect.

Since 1922, the painting has been shown in numerous international exhibitions as an outstanding work by Kirchner.
