Passion II (Leidenschaft II)

Wilhelm Lehmbruck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a nude human figure from a foreshortened perspective. The figure is bending at the waist with one knee on the ground and the head turned sideways in a crouching or kneeling pose. The facial features are not detailed, and the head is bald or has closely adhering hair. The outline sketch focuses on the contours of the body without showing clothes or accessories. The background has subtle lines, hinting at movement or variance in the sketch's surface, and remains minimalistic and abstract.
