Liegender Weiblicher Akt II (Reclining Female Nude II ) is a 1912 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a reclining nude woman drawn in loose, confident lines. Her body is turned slightly toward us, one arm stretched out and the other bent under her head. The paper has a warm, textured background, and the artist’s signature appears in the corner. The drawing uses quick, sketchy strokes to capture movement and form without detail. It looks like it was done fast, almost like a study. Next, check out Corinth, Lovis for more of his expressive drawings.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
