Der Ritter (The Knight)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image is an etching that depicts two individuals in a close-up view. The first person has long hair tilted to one side and their face partially covered by shadow. They wear no shirt, and stand in front of the second figure. The second figure is a male with a furrowed brow, large mustache, and wearing headgear and what appears to be armor or a cloak. Both figures are detailed and illustrated in style, with strong lines and shading against a light background. There is no color or jewelry present in the artwork, set against a plain and textured background that emphasizes the central figures.
