"Liebespaar" (1920) by German Expressionist painter Otto Mueller, is a depiction of a nude woman and a man standing close together. The painting is characterized by its simplified forms and bold colors, typical of Mueller's style. The woman's body is rendered in a warm, flesh-tone, while the man is mostly obscured by shadows. This emphasizes the woman's sensuality and the intimate bond between the couple. Currently, the painting is on display at the Sprengel Museum in Hanover, Germany.
