Rudolf Rittner als Florian Geyer (Rudolf Rittner as Florian Geyer) is a 1914 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a loose coat, holding a sword and a flag. His posture is tense, like he’s ready to charge forward. The lines are rough and scratchy, almost like they were drawn quickly with a sharp tool. The artist used a drypoint technique—think of it like scratching into a metal plate to make marks. The signature in the corner looks like it was added later. If you like this style, check out Corinth, Lovis.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
