Brücke mit Tafel (Bridge with Sign) is a 1916 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a simple wooden bridge with a signpost in the middle. The lines are scratchy and uneven, like quick pencil strokes. Trees lean in on both sides, and the ground looks rough and textured. The artist used a drypoint technique—scratching directly into the metal plate to make the lines. It’s not smooth or polished, but raw and fast. Next, look up Corinth, Lovis to see more of his work.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
