Susanna im Bade (Susanna in the Bath)

Employing drypoint, Corinth incised the design directly onto the paper's surface, producing rich, velvety lines and a palpable sense of texture. The monochrome palette heightens the chiaroscuro effect, while the bold, sweeping strokes reflect the artist’s post‑stroke shift toward a more expressive, less restrained visual language.

Corinth, trained in Paris and Munich before becoming a leading figure in the Berlin Secession, altered his artistic approach after a 1911 stroke, favoring looser handling and intensified coloration. Although this print remains in black, it exemplifies his later period, which also includes numerous portraits and landscapes produced before his death in 1925.
