Gebeugter Akt (Nude Bending Forward)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a person from head to feet, depicted in a stooped position with one hand on their knee and the other arm extending forward. The person's facial features are expressive, with large eyes and a slightly open mouth, framed by short, dark hair. The figure is drawn with loose, dynamic lines, creating a sense of movement and form without specific clothing details. Strong shadows and textures are highlighted on the body, giving depth. The background is a plain, light-colored surface, possibly paper, with the artist's signature at the bottom right.
