Frauenräuber (Rape) is a 1920 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a dark scene with figures in turmoil. It's a dramatic and intense work. The artist used strong lines and shading to create depth. The scene is chaotic, with figures overlapping and twisting. This suggests a sense of struggle and violence. The title "Frauenräuber" translates to "Rape", which adds to the intense feeling. This style is similar to what you'd see if you looked up the technique: sfumato.
