About the piece

Painted in 1914, this striking work by Lovis Corinth captures the actress Gertrud Eysoldt with raw, expressive energy. The painting is characterized by its luminous skin tones and heavy, confident impasto that defines the figure against a dark, atmospheric interior, embodying the height of German Expressionism.
