Girl Reading 1911

"Girl Reading" is a charcoal drawing created by German artist Lovis Corinth in 1911. The artwork depicts a young woman seated and absorbed in her reading. The artist’s expressive use of lines and shading captures the moment with immediacy, highlighting the figure’s posture and the intensity of her focus. The loose, energetic style of the drawing exemplifies Corinth’s characteristic approach, which blended elements of Impressionism with German Expressionism, creating a powerful and personal depiction of everyday life.
