Young Woman
1910-1920
Ferdinand Schirren’s moody sketch captures a young woman caught in a moment of quiet introspection, her face half-swallowed by deep, dramatic shadows. Created during the height of the Expressionist movement between 1910 and 1920, the piece relies on raw, smudged strokes rather than precise details to convey raw emotion. The figure, dressed in a simple light garment, seems to emerge from a dark, textured background, giving her an almost ghostly presence. Schirren’s signature in the corner anchors this atmospheric study, showing how early 20th-century artists used rough textures to explore the inner psychological states of their subjects.
