Weiblicher Akt 1923

"Weiblicher Akt" (Female Nude) is a 1923 drawing by German artist Otto Mueller. Executed in delicate red chalk, the artwork depicts a nude woman reclining in a simplified, almost geometric form. The figure is outlined with bold strokes and shaded with subtle, fragmented lines, creating a sense of both intimacy and distance. Mueller's drawings often explored the female form with an expressive and sensual touch, reflecting his engagement with the artistic trends of the early 20th century, particularly Expressionism.
