Woman and Child (Weib und Kind)

Wilhelm Lehmbruck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch with three full-body figures. The central figure has one arm raised and the other hanging by their side. They have distinct facial features, including strong eyebrows, a pronounced nose, and short dark hair. To the left, a smaller figure with a forward-leaning stance and similar hair is depicted. To the right, a third figure with partially turned back is shown, obscuring facial details. None of the figures are wearing clothing, and visible sketch lines add depth to muscles and contours. The background is plain with cross-hatched lines for texture, and no accessories are present.
