This sketch shows a muscular man mid-motion, one arm raised as if pushing or reaching. His body is turned slightly, with one leg bent forward and the other straight. The lines are rough and fast, capturing movement and muscle with dark ink on light paper. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to show muscle and motion, almost like scribbling but with purpose. This style makes the figure feel alive and dynamic. Next, look up Corinth, Lovis to see more of his bold, expressive drawings.
