Entführung (Abduction)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two male figures wrestling. One figure is behind the other, with their arms reaching around. The man in front is lifting his opponent, with a strong stance and legs apart. The man in front has his back to the viewer, while the man behind has partially visible facial features and dark hair. Both figures are nude, showcasing their muscular bodies. The background is dark and textured, hinting at a natural setting. A signature is barely visible in the bottom right corner of the image.
