Krankenschwester (Nurse)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a woman from the waist up, in profile view facing toward the right side. She appears seated, with a slightly twisted torso and head turned. The woman has a delicate facial profile with a prominent nose, subtle cheekbones, and a calm mouth expression. Her hair is styled with volume on top and seems to be pinned up. She is wearing a garment with soft folds and loose sleeves, a high neckline encircling her neck. There is no visible jewelry. The background is minimal with faint lines suggesting depth, with a signature in the bottom right corner.
