Frauenkopf (Head of Woman)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait sketch of an individual displaying their head and shoulders. The subject appears in a thoughtful pose, with a slightly tilted head and a hand resting on the chin. The person's facial features are emphasized, particularly the eyes and lips, and they have dark, somewhat tousled short hair. The clothing is minimal, possibly a light, patterned material, with a visible collar. The background is plain. The artwork includes the artist's signature at the bottom, "Corinth," in red ink.
