Comment/designation by Kirchner in 1933:
Portrait of Mrs. Müller.
E. L. Kirchner 25, 150 × 78 cm.
She stands with her face in profile-enface position in front of a figurative tapestry. Blue dress with violet shadows, violet stockings, and red slippers. The large head makes the undersized body appear life-sized; additionally, the figure is enlarged by the surrounding pink area, which interrupts the horizontal lines of the background.
