From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Fan Design [recto] is a 1906 graphite by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting in a round frame, surrounded by swirling lines and tiny figures. Around her are butterflies, flowers, and strange, floating shapes. The drawing is loose and quick, like a doodle but more detailed. The artist signed it in the corner with the year 1906. The paper is green, and the graphite lines are light but clear. 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.
