Arno Holz

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a monochromatic sketch of the upper half of a person, including their head and torso. The person is primarily forward-facing with their head slightly turned to one side in a gentle profile view. The sketch includes rough-textured features like eyes behind circular glasses, a prominent nose, and a closed mouth. Short, textured strokes depict the tousled hair, and the person wears a suit jacket with lapels and a hint of a shirt underneath. The figure is drawn in a loose, expressive style without intricate detailing, and there are no visible accessories or jewelry. The background is blank, emphasizing the focus on the sketched portrait.
