Joseph und Potiphars Weib I (Joseph and Potiphar's Wife I) is a 1914 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man and a woman in a tense moment. The man is lying down, half-covered by a sheet, while the woman leans over him with one hand reaching toward his face. The lines are loose and scratchy, like quick strokes. The artist used a drypoint technique, which means they etched the design into a metal plate and then pressed paper onto it. This left behind a rough, textured look. Check out more works by Corinth, Lovis.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
