Männliches Bildnis mit Aufgestütztem Arm (Portrait of a Man Smoking)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man sketched from the waist up. He is seated with his head resting against his right hand, which is propped on a surface in front of him. The man has a contemplative expression with raised eyebrows and deep-set eyes. He has short, dark hair, and is dressed in a buttoned shirt and a jacket. His left hand lightly rests on the surface near him. In front of him is a small stack of books or a box. The background is plain without any additional elements.
