On wove paper. 14.5 x 11.5 cm (5.7 x 4.5 in), the full sheet. [CH].
• Immediate and unerring figure scene from the early Brücke days in Dresden, captured in strong colors.
• The small sketch is highly acknowledged: Kirchner originally pasted it into one of his sketchbooks.

This encounter, not uncommon at balls or in theaters at the time, must have enticed Kirchner to this quick sketch: A corps student in full attire standing next to an accompanying lady in long black robe and with pompous headdress. He is wearing black boots, a blue uniform jacket with the red and black sash in the fraternity colors black, red and white (?), which could refer to the Corps Teutonia founded in Dresden in 1859. There is no indication that Kirchner, as a student of architecture, was interested in student corps or even asked to join. Student fraternities and corps were founded in traditional university towns, including Dresden, in the early 19th century. In the German Empire, the corps saw the greatest popularity. Members wearing their colors, cap and sash were a vital part of social life on many occasions and felt obliged to underpin their leadership role by an appropriate appearance. [MvL]
