Bildnis des Grafen Keyserling (Portrait of Count Keyserling) is a 1919 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a suit, sitting with one leg crossed. His face is loose and sketchy, with a mustache and glasses. The background is barely there—just a faint outline of a chair and some dark shapes. The artist used quick, rough lines to capture the man’s pose and expression. The paper has a textured look, like the lines were scratched into it. Next, check out drypoint, the technique used here.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
