"Portrait of Gerda" is a notable work by the German expressionist painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, created in 1914. Kirchner, a founding member of the influential art group Die Brücke (The Bridge), is renowned for his vivid and emotive style, which sought to convey the psychological depth and intensity of his subjects. This particular portrait exemplifies his innovative approach to color, form, and composition, which were hallmarks of the expressionist movement.

The subject of the painting, Gerda Schilling, was one of Kirchner's favorite models and a significant figure in his life and work. Gerda, along with her sister Erna, frequently appeared in Kirchner's paintings, embodying the artist's fascination with the human figure and his exploration of modern life. In "Portrait of Gerda," Kirchner captures her with a striking immediacy, using bold, non-naturalistic colors and dynamic brushstrokes that convey both her physical presence and an underlying emotional complexity.

The painting reflects Kirchner's interest in the psychological aspects of portraiture, as well as his desire to break away from traditional artistic conventions. The use of exaggerated forms and intense colors creates a sense of tension and movement, drawing the viewer into the emotional world of the subject. This approach was part of Kirchner's broader aim to express the inner experiences of his subjects, rather than merely depicting their outward appearances.

"Portrait of Gerda" is also significant within the context of Kirchner's oeuvre and the broader expressionist movement. It exemplifies the artist's commitment to exploring new artistic territories and his ability to convey profound emotional and psychological states through his work. Today, the painting is celebrated as a masterful example of early 20th-century expressionism and continues to be studied and admired for its innovative and evocative qualities.
