Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image is an etching of a person depicted from the waist up. The person is facing slightly to the left, with a muscular build. Their facial features are exaggerated, including a broad nose, intense eyes, and a wide mouth. The person has voluminous, curly hair and appears to be wearing a draped garment. The background is filled with dense cross-hatching, with abstract forms suggesting other figures or shapes. The bottom of the etching includes a signature.
