Pietà

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a reclining nude figure on a cloth-covered surface. The drawing uses fine lines and shading to create depth and texture. The figure is positioned lying face down and slightly sideways, with arms and legs extended. The surface on which the figure lies appears to be made of stone or tiles, indicated by lines suggesting the joins between tiles.
