About this work

Overview

Interieur mit Frau (Interior with Woman) is a 1917 drypoint print by Lovis Corinth, a German artist known for his work in painting and printmaking.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a woman seated in a chair, wearing a loose coat, with a tree branch against the wall and a curtained window behind her. The scene is rendered in a rough, sketchy manner.

Technique & Style

Corinth employed drypoint, a technique that yields textured, expressive lines, to create the print. The resulting image has a spontaneous, hurried feel, characteristic of Corinth's shift towards expressionism following a stroke in 1911.
