Knabe mit Badehose und Strohhut (Boy Wearing Bathing-Trunks and Straw Hat) is a 1915 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a boy standing in the center, wearing only a pair of shorts and a straw hat. His arms hang loose at his sides, and his bare feet point forward. Around him, other figures are drawn quickly—some sitting, some standing—all with rough, sketchy lines. The boy’s face is simple but clear, while the background shapes are barely there, like quick jots. This style makes the drawing feel lively and unfinished. Next, check out Corinth, Lovis to see how his other works compare.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
