Frauenbildnis (Portrait of a Woman)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

This image shows an upper-body sketch of a person seated in a three-quarter view. The person is sitting upright with their hands resting on their lap in front of them, which is partially obscured by a loose-fitting robe or tunic. Their facial features are carefully drawn, with focused eyes, a straight nose, and lips set in a neutral expression. The hair is styled with a slight wave, cut to the level of the ears. The person is wearing a garment with wide sleeves and a high collar. The background is plain. The sketch is rendered in fine lines, emphasizing contours and shadows to define the form.
