• The female nude in natural poses is a central motif for Kirchner.
• Hardly any other expressionist artist used drawing as a creative tool as much as Kirchner.
• Gerda and Erna Schilling are Kirchner's models in his best creative days in Berlin.
We are grateful to Prof. Dr. Dr. Gerd Presler for his kind expert advice.
