In 1919, Lovis Corinth painted himself standing in his large studio. His wife Charlotte stands behind him, nude but with her face mostly hidden. Corinth had a stroke in 1911. With Charlotte’s help he kept painting, often focusing on family. This isn’t just a self-portrait. It shows how Charlotte supported him after his stroke. You can almost feel the quiet bond between them. See how Charlotte’s pose mirrors classic studio nudes. Look up Lovis Corinth (German, 1858–1925).
