Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an upper-body sketch of a person seated with an arm resting on a surface. The individual is facing forward with their gaze directed slightly to one side. The facial features are detailed, with distinct lines highlighting the eyes and mouth. The person's hair is short and dark, contrasting against the lighter background. They are wearing a loose, textured garment, and the hand visible is at rest. There are no visible jewelry pieces or objects held. The backdrop is plain, focusing solely on the individual.
