Frauenbildnis (Portrait of a Woman) 1914

"Frauenbildnis (Portrait of a Woman)" is an etching created by the German artist Lovis Corinth in 1914. This intimate portrait depicts a woman in a simple blouse, seated with her hands folded in her lap. The artist's signature is in the lower right corner. Corinth's characteristic bold lines and expressive brushstrokes are evident in the artwork, conveying a sense of depth and emotion. His use of chiaroscuro, a technique where strong contrasts between light and dark areas are used, highlights the sitter's features, lending a sense of drama to the composition.
