Gattin des Künstlers (Wife of the Artist)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an upper body sketch of a person seated, with their head resting in their hand, and their fingers gently touching their chin and cheek. The person is positioned slightly sideways to the viewer. They have short, neatly combed hair with a center parting. The facial features are prominently sketched, highlighting wide eyes and a thoughtful expression. The person is wearing a loose, long-sleeved blouse with a neckline detail. The background is a simple line drawing, depicting a room with sparse details, including what appears to be picture frames or windows on the wall. The predominant medium used in the sketch is a series of fine lines.
