Zwei Männliche Studienköpfe—Selbstbildnisse (Sketch of Two Male Heads—Self-Portraits)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a sketched portrait of two individuals. The person in the foreground has a strong jawline, a mustache, and a receding hairline. The person behind has an elongated face with pronounced cheekbones and appears older due to wrinkles or age marks. Both individuals are shown from the upper body up, wearing loose-fitting collars. The sketch suggests that the person in the foreground is holding an object in their hand. The background is plain, focusing on the individuals' features.
