Otto Mueller depicts a standing female nude with a dagger, referencing the Roman legend of Lucretia who killed herself after being violated. Mueller's angular, simplified forms and matte surfaces distinguish his Expressionist approach.
Mueller was a member of Die Brücke, the German Expressionist group. His nudes often show figures in harmony with nature, influenced by his supposed Romani heritage. The muted earth tones and simplified anatomy create a timeless, archaic quality distinct from his more colorful colleagues.
