This sketch shows a woman crouching with her knees pulled up. Her arms rest on them, and her head tilts back slightly. The lines are loose and scratchy, giving a rough, textured look to her skin and clothing. The artist used shading to show the curves of her body and the folds of her draped cloth. The drawing feels quick, like it was made in one go. Next, check out Corinth, Lovis for more of his bold, expressive sketches.
