Verschiedene Tierstudien (Animal Studies) is a 1917 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows quick, loose lines of animals—maybe horses or cows—jumbled together. The paper is light, almost beige, and the ink looks scratchy, like it was drawn fast. Some shapes overlap, while others fade into the background. The artist used a drypoint tool, which means they scratched lines into a metal plate to make the print. The marks are rough and uneven, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. Next, check out Corinth, Lovis to see more of his fast, expressive drawings.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
