1919, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Woman in the Night [woodcut] -- Yale University Art Gallery (New Haven) (special exhibition)

From the museum label: Whereas the woodcuts featured on the reverse side of Kirchner's Junkerboden usually show different iterations of the same panorama, this one continues the nocturnal theme with a different composition, Woman in the Night. It most likely depicts the mother, Marie-Luise, or the wife, Herta, of Ludwig Binswanger, Kirchner's doctor at Bellevue Sanatorium near Lake Constance.
