Liegender Weiblicher Akt.—Studie zu "Joseph und Potiphar" (Reclining Female Nude—Study for "Joseph and Potiphar's Wife") is a 1915 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a reclining female nude, her body positioned in a relaxed manner. Her right arm is raised above her head, while her left arm rests on her stomach. The woman's face is turned to the right, and her hair cascades down her back. The drypoint print is rendered in black ink on laid paper, creating a sense of depth and texture. The artist's use of bold lines and expressive strokes adds to the overall sense of movement and energy in the piece. This study for "Joseph and Potiphar's Wife" showcases the artist's skill in capturing the human form. To learn more about the artist's work, explore the paintings of Lovis Corinth.
