Nacktes Modell auf dem Sofa. Um 1905.
Chalk drawing.
Lower left with the artist's monogram. With teh estate stamp (Lugt 1570 b) and the hand-written number "K Dre / Bg 21" on the reverse. On laid paper (with the watermark). 27.5 x 42 cm (10.8 x 16.5 in), the full sheet. [CH].
• A particularly detailed and intriguing composition that reveals Kirchner's poised draughtsmanship.
• An important period in art history: in 1905, Kirchner, Heckel, Schmidt-Rottluff and Bleyl founded the "Brücke", which Pechstein and Nolde also joined in 1906.
• Testimony to the extraordinary collaboration between the group of artists: a drawing by Fritz Bleyl showing the model in this very pose can be found in the Brücke Museum in Berlin.
• Kirchner and the "Brücke" artists provided a new, pioneering interpretation of the female nude as an independent pictorial element.
• Kirchner probably met Dodo, his companion and lover from the Dresden period, as early as 1903 and she may have posed for this drawing.

"After the nude session were over, we usually stayed around for tea, which the landlady had to make, in a lively and sociable atmosphere, having thoughtful conversations or reading out interesting stories."
