Entführung (Abduction) is a 1894 ink by Lovis Corinth, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two nude figures in a dark, shadowy space. One person is bent over, their arms gripping their knees, while the other stands behind them, reaching forward with one arm. The background is mostly black, with faint textures that look like rough fabric or night sky. The artist used lines to create deep shadows and strong contrasts between light and dark. This makes the figures look dramatic and intense. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Corinth made prints like this.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
