Peter Schlemihls wundersame Geschichte: Die Geliebte (Peter Schlemihl's Wondrous Story: The Beloved)

Kirchner employed the woodcut technique, carving the design into wood and printing it to achieve bold, flat areas of color. The resulting work is characterized by its emotional intensity and bold forms, hallmarks of Expressionist art.

Created during World War I, the print reflects Kirchner's experiences during this period, which included wartime service and a subsequent breakdown. His work was later condemned by the Nazi regime, with many pieces removed in 1937.
