1910

From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Kneeling, Small (Kniende, klein) is a 1910 ink by Wilhelm Lehmbruck, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a simple black-and-white sketch of a person kneeling with their hands resting on their knees. The lines are rough and uneven, giving the figure a slightly awkward, stiff look. The body is drawn in a way that feels more like a sketch than a polished drawing. The artist left the paper rough around the edges, almost like they were in a hurry or working quickly. This style makes the figure stand out more against the messy background. If you like this sketchy style, look into drypoint.
Wilhelm Lehmbruck (4 January 1881 – 25 March 1919) was a German sculptor. One of the most important of his generation, he was influenced by realism and expressionism.
