Sitzender Männlicher Akt (Seated Male Nude) is a 1908 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a seated man from behind, his arms resting on his knees. The lines are loose and scratchy, almost like quick scribbles. The paper has a rough, textured look, and the ink is dark against the light background. The artist used a technique that lets the lines overlap in messy, uneven strokes. It feels like they were drawn in a hurry or with a tool that left rough marks. Look up etching to see how artists create prints like this one.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
