About this work
Overview
Anneliese Halbe is a 1918 lithograph by Lovis Corinth, a German painter and printmaker. The work is executed in black on wove paper.
Subject & Meaning
The print is a portrait of Anneliese Halbe, depicted seated with her hands in her lap, wearing a high-collared dress. The loose, quick lines convey a sense of informality.
Technique & Style
The lithograph's sketchy, unfinished quality is characteristic of Corinth's later style, which synthesized elements of impressionism and expressionism following a stroke in 1911.
History & Provenance
Corinth was associated with the Berlin Secession, a group he later led after Max Liebermann. The artist signed the work in the corner, confirming its authenticity.
