Physical Description
Three figures with canted tabletop set with teapot, carafe, and dishes. A nude figure stands on the right side of the image, representing the ethnographic statue that the artist admired and kept in his studio. Artist's sketch from life; Kirchner developed a rapid, stroke-oriented (as opposed to detail-oriented) sketch style.
Subject Matter
Erna Schilling (center), a dancer as well as Kirchner's mistress in Berlin, as well as an unidentified guest at a central table surface spread with cups, saucers, carafe, coffee pot, and plate. The figure to the right is an Oceanic or African wooden statue that Kirchner kept in his Berlin art studio, and identifies the image's location as such.
