Stehende Weibliche akte (Standing Female Nude) 1916

"Stehende Weibliche Akte" (Standing Female Nude), created in 1916 by German artist Lovis Corinth, is a powerful black and white etching showcasing a nude female figure rendered in bold, expressive lines. The artist's dynamic use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of volume and depth, capturing the contours of the body with both realism and a sense of movement. The figure's pose is both confident and vulnerable, reflecting the artistic trends of the early 20th century which emphasized the human form and its inherent beauty.
