Bildnisstudie H. St. (Portrait Study of H. St.) is a 1920 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image shows a portrait of a man, depicted in a drypoint print on wove paper. The man's face is the central focus, with his head turned slightly to the right. His features are rendered in bold, expressive lines, with deep shadows accentuating the contours of his face. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. The drypoint technique adds a sense of texture and depth to the image, giving it a tactile quality.
