Stehende Weibliche akte (Standing Female Nude)

About this work

This sketch shows a nude woman standing sideways, one arm bent at the waist and the other hand resting on her hip. Her body is drawn with quick, loose lines—some areas are dark and solid, while others fade into light strokes. The paper has a textured look, like the artist worked fast. The signature in the corner reads "Lovis Corinth," and the lines are scratchy, almost like they were carved into the paper. It feels raw and unfinished, like a quick study rather than a polished work. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro—it’s the technique of strong light and shadow contrasts.
