Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

Drei weibliche Köpfe
1934

Brush and India ink and pen drawing on firm smooth wove paper. 36.3 x 52 cm. Framed under glass. Stamped to verso "NACHLASS E. L. KIRCHNER" (Lugt 1570 b), therein numbered "P Da/Ba 20" in ink and with the annotation "K 6784". - Faint studio traces, the upper right corner marginally torn off.

Gerd Presler locates the motif of the three portrayed heads to the "Schneider's Café Restaurant", still extant today in Davos. The large-format brush drawing was executed there in the early 1930s.
