Verschiedene Bilnisstudien (Portrait Sketches)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a sketch showing multiple figures in various positions, capturing mostly head and upper body views. In the upper portion, a person is depicted reclining with eyes closed and head leaning back. In the center, a figure appears with closed eyes and a gentle smile. To the left, another figure sits with their head tilted down, eyes closed. In the lower right corner, a small figure is seen in profile, looking toward the center. The sketch is created with flowing lines outlining the figures and features, with touches of hatching in the background. There are no evident objects or jewelry, and the background remains simple. The artwork is signed at the bottom right with a flowing cursive signature.
