Beschrijving
A 1910 Expressionist portrait by Max Pechstein, featuring a girl reclining on a green sofa with a cat, defined by bold lines and saturated colour.
Max Pechstein, a founding member of the Die Brücke group, produced this work in 1910 during a period of intense creative output for the German Expressionist movement. The painting depicts a young woman reclining on a plush, deep green sofa, accompanied by a small cat. Pechstein employs a bold, simplified approach to form, utilising heavy outlines and a non-naturalistic colour palette to convey the mood of the scene.
The composition is dominated by the large, sweeping curves of the sofa, which anchor the figure within the frame. The girl wears a striped garment, her posture relaxed yet deliberate as she rests her head upon her hand. A small cat sits to her left, rendered with minimal detail, serving as a quiet companion in the domestic setting. The use of dark, saturated greens against the lighter, warmer tones of the figure's skin creates a visual tension typical of Pechstein's early work.
Unlike the more academic portraiture of the era, this piece prioritises emotional expression over anatomical precision. The brushwork is direct and unrefined, reflecting the artist's desire to capture an immediate, raw experience. The background remains largely indistinct, ensuring the focus stays on the interaction between the subject and her immediate environment. This work is representative of the shift in early twentieth-century German art towards subjective interpretation, where the artist's internal response to the subject dictates the final appearance of the canvas. It remains a clear example of the stylistic trajectory of the Die Brücke artists as they moved away from traditional representation toward a more emotive, graphic visual language.

Artist Biography
Max Pechstein
He was born in Zwickau in 1881 and apprenticed as a decorator from 1896 to 1900 before studying at the Dresden art school. Erich Heckel invited him to join Die Brucke in 1906. Contact with Matisse pushed his palette toward jarring, unmixed colour, but his compositions retained a warmth and legibility that made them easier to sell than the work of his peers.
At the outbreak of the First World War he was interned in Japan and returned to Germany via Shanghai, Manila and New York. He saw action at the Somme and suffered a nervous breakdown. In 1918 he co-founded the Novembergruppe, a left-wing artists' group that demanded artist involvement in postwar social policy.
The Nazis classified his work as degenerate. Over three hundred paintings were seized from German museums. He was banned from exhibiting and dismissed from the Prussian Academy. He produced 421 lithographs, 315 woodcuts and linocuts, and 165 etchings over his career, making him one of the most prolific printmakers of the Expressionist generation. After the war he was rehabilitated, given a professorship in Berlin and elected to the Academy of Arts. He died in Berlin in 1955, at seventy-three.
