Ruhende Dreiviertel Akt (Reclining Female Nude)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image is an etching of a seated woman from the upper thighs upwards. She is reclining with her torso leaning to the left, head tilted back, and resting against her right hand. Her face features a slightly open mouth, closed eyes, and shoulder-length wavy hair. The woman is unclothed, with her right leg bent underneath her and her upper body angled to show her torso. She is not wearing any jewelry or holding any objects. The background is minimal, with a textured backdrop suggesting an interior space and simple shading for shadows. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom of the image.
