Der Neue See (The New Lake)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woodland scene from a slightly elevated angle. Various tree trunks with branches and foliage are visible on the left side, casting horizontal lines across the scene. The lines are quick and energetic, giving a sense of movement and depth. The color palette is limited to shades of black and beige, creating a strong contrast between the dark forms and the lighter background.
