Karl Ernst Osthaus by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a notable portrait created by the German expressionist painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Kirchner, a founding member of the influential artist group Die Brücke, was known for his vivid and dynamic style, which sought to break away from traditional academic art forms and embrace a more raw and emotional aesthetic. This particular work captures Karl Ernst Osthaus, a prominent German art collector, patron, and founder of the Folkwang Museum in Hagen.

Osthaus was a significant figure in the early 20th-century art world, known for his dedication to modern art and his efforts to promote contemporary artists. His support was crucial for many avant-garde artists of the time, including members of Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter. Osthaus's vision for the Folkwang Museum was to create a space where modern art could be appreciated alongside traditional works, fostering a dialogue between the old and the new.

Kirchner's portrait of Osthaus is a testament to the close relationship between artist and patron. The painting is characterized by Kirchner's distinctive use of bold colors, angular forms, and expressive brushstrokes, which convey a sense of energy and intensity. The portrait not only captures Osthaus's likeness but also reflects his dynamic personality and his passion for the arts.

This work is an important example of Kirchner's portraiture and his ability to convey the essence of his subjects through his unique expressionist style. It also highlights the significant role that patrons like Osthaus played in the development and promotion of modern art in the early 20th century. The portrait remains a valuable piece in the study of both Kirchner's oeuvre and the history of modern art patronage.
